Why participate?

1) Heightened Company Pride: If your company makes the list, the management, the employees and the other stakeholders swell with pride. Employee morale receives a boost and employee retention is increased.



2) Public Relations and Marketing Advantage: Companies will use the distinction to enhance their employee recruiting efforts, increase the effectiveness of the company's general marketing and to improve their reputation in the state.



3) The Employee Feedback Report: All participating companies will receive a world-class assessment detailing the company's employee responses. Even if a company does not make the list, this data can be an important reason to participate.

Assessment Description

The assessment is a two-part process designed to gather detailed data about each participating company. In part one, the employer completes the Employer Questionnaire. In part two, up to 400 employees of the company complete a satisfaction survey.

Part I - Employer Questionnaire (EQ)

The employer (main company contact) will complete this survey, detailing company policies, practices, benefits and demographics. The employer will be asked to complete the EQ online.

Part II - Employee Engagement & Satisfaction Survey (EESS)

The employee survey is an in-depth set of statements (78) that employees will be asked to respond to on a 1-5 Likert scale of "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree". This section of the survey will also include two (2) open-ended questions, and seven (7) demographic questions. If e-mail and internet technology is not available for use by company employees, BCG also has a paper survey available.



Announcing the Winners!

Winning companies will be notified in writing whether they made the list or not. Companies making the list will find out where they rank at the annual awards gala event held in April, 2015. The winners will also be highlighted in the "Best Companies to Work for in New York" publication that will be distributed state-wide.
