Spotlight on Memphis: Last Call for Top Workplace Nominations

Memphis is buzzing with excitement as the deadline approaches for the much-anticipated Top Workplaces 2024 nominations. This annual event, now in its 12th year, aims to highlight and celebrate organizations in the Memphis metro area that have fostered a positive work culture. If you’ve got a workplace that shines in employee satisfaction, now’s the time to make your voice heard!

The nomination window is open until August 30, so if your company has at least 35 employees and operates in the Memphis area, you can put their name in the hat. Whether it’s a public institution, private business, nonprofit organization, school, or even a local government agency, any qualified establishment can be nominated.

Wondering how to throw your support behind your employer? It’s simple! Head over to commercialappeal.com/nominate or give them a call at 901-726-3595. The best part? There’s no cost to participate! This makes it easy for employees to show their appreciation for organizations that invest in their teams.

The process of being recognized as a Top Workplace in Memphis involves gathering feedback from employees via a quick, 24-question survey. This survey only takes about five minutes to complete, so you won’t have to spend hours filling it out. The survey is designed to help employees share their experiences and gauge overall workplace satisfaction.

Companies will be conducting these invaluable surveys through September, and the data collected will help determine which workplaces truly stand out based on employee feedback. The research is supported by Energage, a research partner based in Pennsylvania that specializes in measuring workplace culture across various markets. In fact, they’ve surveyed more than 2 million employees at over 8,000 organizations in the past year alone!

For the current year, 1,748 organizations were invited to participate in the survey. Out of these, 44 workplaces earned the prestigious title of Memphis Top Workplaces. This recognition not only elevates an organization’s status in the community but also boosts employee morale and fosters a sense of pride among the team.

So why is it important to highlight these top-notch workplaces? For one, it shines a light on those companies that prioritize their employees’ well-being and create a positive work environment. When organizations are actively engaged in making their workplace a better space, it benefits everyone—employees feel valued and happy, which in turn leads to increased productivity and lower turnover rates.

If you work for a company that puts its employees first, now’s your chance to let them know you appreciate their efforts! Nominate them before the deadline arrives so they can be recognized among the best workplaces Memphis has to offer.

This event encourages organizations to strive for excellence in employee relations and develop a culture that is committed to growth, inclusivity, and strong support systems. It opens up discussions on what makes a workplace great and how others can follow suit in cultivating a positive atmosphere.

Remember, the nomination period ends on August 30. Make sure to spread the word among your colleagues and encourage them to participate in the survey once it opens up for your organization. Your insights could help your workplace gain recognition and set a benchmark for others.

In a world where job satisfaction can dramatically affect our overall happiness, the Top Workplaces initiative serves as a beacon of hope. It reminds us that not all workplaces are the same and that there are many organizations out there committed to maintaining a positive, encouraging culture. So, Memphis, let’s rally together and ensure our standout employers get the recognition they deserve!

Make that nomination today, show some love for your workplace, and let’s see which organizations will be celebrated as Memphis’s finest. Don’t miss out on this chance to highlight the incredible workplaces that make our community thrive!
