Last call for Top Workplaces nominations

OK, this really is last call.

If you want to take part in this year’s New Mexico Top Workplaces survey — and you should — you’ll need to get your nominations in by Friday.

The Journal is once again partnering with WorkplaceDynamics LLP on the survey, which a great way to gauge the health of your organization. The results you’ll get from Top Workplaces can validate your achievements, reveal problem areas and set a foundation for new goals.

“Employee engagement is the key to unlocking and empowering potential in companies and their employees,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “To get to that, you have to know the truth of what’s happening within and across an organization. A survey conducted by a third party is key to that.”

The Top Workplaces team will continue to reach out to companies and organizations around New Mexico, interviewing thousands of employees to compile a comprehensive list of New Mexico’s Top Workplaces for 2017.

The results will be published this spring and an analysis of the results will be provided to employers who take part. Here’s how it works: To join this survey, an employee, employer or customer needs to nominate his or her company by Friday through ABQjournal.com/ nominate or by calling 505-288-3443. The company will receive a call from WorkplaceDynamics to explain the survey process.

Employees will then be surveyed about the company’s direction, execution and engagement of employees. WorkplaceDynamics determines who makes the list based on those surveys. The survey has strict protocols. WorkplaceDynamics runs a series of statistical tests to look for any questionable results and routinely disqualifies some employees based on those findings.

There is no internet voting, no “click as many times as you can” and you cannot submit a small group of handpicked employees to respond to questions.

Participating companies must grant individual access either to all employees or a vast majority for larger businesses.
