Virginia Chamber Supports Inaugural "Best Places to Work in Virginia" program6.24.2010
 The Virginia Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a unique partnership with Virginia Business Magazine, the Virginia Society for Human Resource Management (VA SHRM) and Best Companies Group to launch the first ever competition naming the “Best Places to Work in Virginia”.
The search is on to find the companies that will make this first ever list for 2011. The Registration Deadline to participate is September 2, 2010. Companies can register to complete the FREE workplace assessment process at www.BestPlacesToWorkVA.com. Organizations that make the 2011 list will find out in November, but won’t know where they rank until the February 2011 issue of Virginia Business Magazine is published and distributed around the Commonwealth.
Numerous studies show a strong correlation between profitability and creating a great place to work. The Best Places to Work in Virginia initiative is similar to the famous Fortune magazine list announcing the “100 Best Companies to Work for.” In addition to the positive effect the award has on their employee relations and recruitment, the driving force for companies to participate is the remarkable effect that workplace improvements can have on their bottom line.
The goal of Best Places to Work in Virginia is to raise the bar among our state’s employers and create excellence and employee engagement in the workplace that will attract talented people for years to come. This initiative is integral for Virginia to compete in both national and global arenas.
The selection process is based on an assessment of the company’s employer policies and procedures and the results of a 76 question Employee Engagement & Satisfaction Survey. After the process is complete, all participating companies will receive a free Participation Report which will include an Employer Summary Report presenting grouped averages about what companies are offering their employees. Participating organizations also have the option of purchasing their in-depth Employee Feedback Report, which will summarize the data collected through the employee engagement and satisfaction survey.
The deadline for registration in the fourth annual Best Places to Work in Virginia initiative is September 2, 2010. Further details about the program, the registration information and associated costs can be found online at www.BestPlacesToWorkVA.com. Or, you can call Best Companies Group, toll free at (877) 455-2159.
