Love your workplace? Let it show
OK, New Year’s is over and you’re back at work.
But don’t stop celebrating — just shift your focus a bit and sign up for the Journal’s Top Workplaces survey.
Top Workplaces gives your organization a chance to show off just how well it’s doing at engaging your employees. Chances are, if you’re doing that right, you’re also serving your customers well.
The Albuquerque Journal, Business Outlook and Workplace Dynamics LLP are once again teaming up to conduct the statewide survey. Taking part is an opportunity to take stock of your organization — to find out what you’re doing right when it comes to motivating your employees and where you need to improve.
“Engaged employees are motivated to do great work, loyal to the organization and recommend the organization to others. Lack of engagement hurts productivity, hiring, retention and, ultimately, it hurts profits,” Workplace Dynamics CEO Doug Claffey wrote in a special edition announcing last year’s results.
Here’s how the program works:
To join the survey, an employee, employer or customer needs to nominate his or her company by Jan. 20 through ABQ journal.com/nominate or by calling 505-288-3443.
The organization will receive a call from Workplace Dynamics a few weeks later to explain the survey process.
Employees will be surveyed about the company’s direction, execution and engagement of employees. Workplace Dynamics then determines who makes the list based on those surveys.
The survey has strict protocols. There is no internet voting, no “click as many times as you can,” and participating companies must grant individual access to either all employees or a vast majority for larger businesses.
The results will be published in a special section of the Sunday Journal next spring. An analysis of the results will be provided to the employers.
The Journal’s Top Workplaces 2016 publication was seen by tens of thousands of readers across New Mexico, and employers named to the list can use their “Albuquerque Journal Top Workplace” designation in all media relations and recruitment efforts.
