The Morning Call (Sunday)

Deadline extended for workplace award nomination­s

- By Craig Larimer

In the month since The Morning Call announced it was searching for the Lehigh Valley’s Top Workplaces, dozens of local organizati­ons have been nominated by employees, CEOs and customers.

But there’s still time to add to that list.

The deadline for nomination­s is going to be extended a month, to Oct. 2.

Anyone can offer an employer — whether it’s public, private, nonprofit or government — for considerat­ion. Simply go to themorning­call.com/ nominate or call 610-6280921.

The Morning Call’s partner, Philadelph­iaarea research company Energage, will survey employers there, with the results to be revealed in the spring in the Top Workplaces magazine.

Anyone — including employees, CEOs or customers — can nominate a potential top workplace.

Nomination­s are open to employers in Lehigh, Northampto­n, Carbon, Monroe and Berks counties with at least 35 employees. It doesn’t matter if the workplace is forprofit or nonprofit, privately owned, publicly held or a government agency.

Companies will be surveyed through October.

The top employers will be featured in the magazine, which will be delivered with The Morning Call, and recognized at a special event in the spring.

The 2020 winners were unveiled at SteelStack­s in Bethlehem in front of more than 300 cheering members of the

Lehigh Valley business community.

Workplaces are evaluated by their employees using a confidenti­al, 24question survey developed by Energage, which conducts Top Workplaces surveys with more than 50 media partners. Locally, the company surveyed more than 20,000 employees at 69 Lehigh Valley-area businesses, part of the millions of workers who respond nationwide.

There is no fee to participat­e, and there is no applicatio­n process beyond being nominated. Every organizati­on that takes part will receive confidenti­al feedback about its workplace.
