“How can my company become one of the Best Places to Work?”

That’s a question I receive in my inbox year round. And my response, other than directing them to our website’s nomination page, is to look at last year’s awards section for what winners and finalists are doing in their workplaces.

We took that idea one step further this year. Instead of stories on each company, we combined all of the responses of both winners and finalists and focused on specific topics. Fitness, charity, and employee perks are just some ideas that are discussed in this exclusive section. In addition, we asked employers what their most “over the top” benefit is for their workforce and their answers didn’t disappoint.

When reading this section, we want you to come away with an idea that you can implement in your workplace. Maybe it’s not the company trips to Mexico, but initiatives such as sales competitions and charity drives are in the reach of every company.

To develop this section, we partnered with Quantum Workplace, who administered the employee surveys to each company that was nominated. Using those surveys, and their own algorithm, they tabulated scores for this year’s competition.
