EMPLOYEE SURVEY DETERMINES TOP WORKPLACES

As employers take extraordinary steps to
meet the needs of workers and customers
during the pandemic, the Top Workplaces
awards are recognizing those efforts.
Survey feedback from employees is the
sole basis for determining Top Workplaces.
And that feedback serves as
the ultimate test of how employers are
responding in the age of Covid.
“If Covid taught us anything, it’s that asking
questions and listening to employees
is critical to navigating this new world of
work,” says Eric Rubino, Energage CEO.
“More than ever, you need to be more
intentional about your culture.”
This marks the fourth year Philadelphia
based Energage has ranked the Top
Workplaces on Long Island. The foundation
of the program is a scientific survey
of employees who rate their workplace culture.
The feedback also gives companies
insights about what makes them unique.
Surveying began in February, when
news articles and promotions in the
Long Island Press and Dan’s Papers
encouraged nominations for Top
Workplaces consideration. In all, 1,308
employers on Long Island were invited
to have their employees take the survey.
Any organization was eligible to
participate, provided it had at least 50
employees on Long Island. Employers
could be public, private, nonprofit, or
governmental. There is no cost to enter
the Top Workplaces program.
Combined, the companies surveyed
for the 2021 program employed 19,248
people on Long Island. Of employees
who received questionnaires, 9,573

responded, either on paper or online.
For 2021, 57 employers earned recognition
as Top Workplaces.
The employee engagement survey of 24
questions gathers responses regarding
issues relating to workplace culture:
• Alignment – where the company is
headed, its values, cooperation, effective
meetings
• Coaching – managers care about
concerns, are helpful, encourage employee
development
• Connection – employees feel appreciated,
work is meaningful, working at
full potential, feel informed
• Engagement – productivity, retention,
recruiting
• Leadership – confidence in company
leaders
• Performance – execution,
open-mindedness, innovation, clued-in
leadership
• The Basics – pay, benefits, work/life
flexibility, training, expectations
Employers that score high enough are
recognized as Top Workplaces. Employers
are ranked within size groups
to accurately compare results. Energage
also determines special award winners
based on standout scores on specific
survey topics.
Wonder why a particular company
was not on the list? Perhaps it chose not
to participate, or it did not score well
enough in the survey. Energage sometimes
disqualifies employers based on
questionable results detected through
statistical tests it runs, to ensure organizations
are accurately administering
the survey.
