Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Nominate Your Company

1. Being branded as a Best Workplace will help you attract and retain top talent.

2. Not making the list doesn't have any negative implications because no one else knows you applied!

3. Whether you make the list or not, you will receive a complimentary Executive Summary Report with highlights from your survey results. You will also have the opportunity to upgrade to more advanced reporting options that are designed to improve your workplace culture and relationships.

4. Go GREEN with us! Great Place to Work® Institute has the first and only eco-friendly list in Canada. Electronic information will be preferred instead of hard copy, reports will be delivered in soft copy and the paper survey fee will be used to offset the carbon foot print of the process.

5. We use the same proven survey methodology with media partners in over 40 countries (including Fortune and HRMagazine). This gives you the opportunity to benchmark against the best, both nationally and internationally.

6. Independent research shows that organizations on our lists broadly outperform market indices and are more productive and profitable than their peers.

7. National recognition for being a special and unique workplace greatly improves company morale. Your survey results will show you how your employees really experience your workplace.

8. You will be automatically participating in our upcoming Best Workplaces in the World list

9. The list is published on an exclusive national report at the Globe and Mail, the best selling publication in Canada and winners are invited to an upscale exclusive awards ceremony

10. If you feel that your organization is not ready to be on the list yet, you can choose to participate in the survey but not in the list. This allow you to work on your results and prepare for next editions, without creating internal expectations!

 

 

The Companies on our List outperform the others in the stock market!

Independent financial analysts have studied the financial performance of "100 Best" companies beginning with the publication of the book, The 100 Best Companies to Work For in America (by Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz, 1984 and 1993), and on an ongoing basis to accompany each of the "100 Best Companies" lists with Fortune since their inception in 1998. Using various profitability indicators, this data illustrates the extent to which the publicly traded 100 Best Companies consistently outperform major stock indices over various periods of time preceding or following the publication of the 100 Best lists!

 

 

The Reset Annually portfolio invests equal dollar amounts (at the beginning of 1998) in the stock of each of the 1998 100 Best publicly traded companies. The portfolio is liquidated at the end of 1998 and the proceeds invested in the 1999 list by buying equal dollar amounts of each publicly traded firm on the 1999 list. This process of liquidating the portfolio at the end of the year and using the proceeds to invest in the new list of 100 Best is repeated for all years covered in the charts. The Buy and Hold portfolio invests equal dollar amounts (at the beginning of 1998) in the stock of each of the 1998 100 Best publicly traded companies and holds these stocks for all years covered in the charts.
