After Submitting Your Nomination

After you have filled out & submitted your nomination form, we will review your responses and if we have any additional questions we will contact you. After your nomination is submitted, we will review it and you will be notified as to whether or not you are invited to participate in the selection process.
After being accepted as a candidate, each organisation must:

  • Per our guidelines, distribute an employee attitude survey (Great Place to Work™ Trust Index©) to all employees, depending on the size of your organisation. The survey takes employees about 15 minutes to complete, and employees return it to us by email or in a postage-paid envelope.
  • Complete the Great Place to Work™ Culture Audit©; this instrument asks for organisational data as well as responses to nine open-ended questions about the organisation’s workplace practices, philosophy, and work environment.
  • Send us other relevant supporting materials (employee handbooks, orientation and recruiting materials, employee newsletters and videos, etc.) that give us a fuller picture of why the organisation is an outstanding place to work.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or to discuss your requirements or for an opinion on eligibility and participation.
