In some Best Places to Work programs, there is an Employer Questionnaire that is used in calculating the recognition list.
Employer Benefits & Policies Questionnaire (EQ)
Your organization may be responsible for completing the Employer Benefits & Policies Questionnaire (worth 25% of the overall score) where you’ll tell us more about organizational policies, practices, and demographics. The EQ will be sent a few days after the registration deadline. Please see the timeline on your program website for more information regarding program dates. A sample can be found on the program website under Process. If you do not know your specific program's website, you may find it at https://bestcompaniesgroup.com/programs/ or email support@bestcompaniesgroup.com. If your program's website does not have an Employer Questionnaire drop-down option under Process, then likely the program does not require this component.
We will send the employer questionnaire to the primary contact from an email address @BestCompaniesGroup.com which can be completed and submitted entirely online.
You should answer all questions based on your program eligible employees (I.E. - only New Jersey employees or all US employees).
How can I get a copy of my EQ submission?
We recommend that you print each page of the online submission as you are going through the EQ to save the answers you want to keep. After notifications of list or non list-making status have been sent we can provide an Excel export of your answers. This would be several weeks after the survey process ends. Please email support@bestcompaniesgroup.com with your request and include your company name and the program name (ie "Best Places to Work in New Jersey").
SHARING DATA - If you are surveying non-eligible employees to be used in a future program, information regarding these additional employees will be captured separately in the Employer Benefits & Policies Questionnaire related to each program you participate in.
