NOMINATE YOUR COMPANY AS A TOP WORKPLACE
For many Long Islanders, the term
“workplace” has gotten a reboot. A year
ago, how many of us knew how to use
Zoom? Office culture has changed profoundly
during Covid, and that’s why
the 2021 Long Island Top Workplaces
competition promises to be such a
unique undertaking.
Beginning March 7, employers and
employees in Nassau or Suffolk counties
are eligible to nominate their
company — or any company — in the
Top Workplaces competition, as long
as the workplace has more than 50
employees.
How has your workplace embraced
the challenge of going remote during
the pandemic? Has communication
suffered or improved? For employers,
the competition represents a chance
to show off the strides made in creating
a positive workplace culture and
attract new talent. For employees, it’s
an opportunity to sound off if your
company has fallen short of creating
camaraderie.
Not every organization has been in a
position to operate remotely, especially
healthcare facilities and other essential
organizations that met the challenge
posed by the coronavirus by getting
their workplaces to new levels of operations
and efficiency. For them, Top
Workplaces is an opportunity to make
their companies shine!
Schneps Media, which publishes the
Long Island Press, Dan’s Papers, and
Noticia, has partnered with Energage,
a research company that conducts Top
Workplaces surveys for media in 56
markets and has surveyed more than
2 million employees at more than 7,000
organizations in the past year. This is
the fourth year of the program running
on Long Island; it was previously
operated by Newsday.
Here's how it works: You nominate a
company that you think is worthy.
Energage invites the nominated companies
to participate by conducting a
survey of the employees.
Typically, companies that enter the
competition have achieved a level
of success in creating a positive
workplace culture but are looking to
improve.
“If Covid taught us anything, it’s that
asking questions and listening to employees
are critical to navigating this
new world of work,” said Eric Rubino,
Energage CEO.
Entrants will also receive a complimentary
culture review from Energage,
which will highlight what your
company is doing well and what needs
more attention.
What types of companies will benefit
from entering the competition?
“Leaders who embrace a people-first
culture,” said Rubino. “By giving employees
a voice and showcasing your
authentic culture through employer
branding, organizations can attract
those jobseekers who complement
their culture.”
