Top Workplaces 2024 nomination period extended

The deadline has been extended for the 12th annual Top Workplaces, a Journal program that looks to honor employers both large and small. The new deadline is now Feb. 9.

In partnership with research firm Energage, Top Workplaces gives employers in New Mexico an opportunity to offer a glimpse into their workplaces — from the recognition of outstanding employees, to an understanding of company culture, to insights about what sets them apart in the eyes of job-seekers.

The Journal invites employers with 35 or more employees to take advantage of the benefits Top Workplaces provides.

To date, more than 80 companies have signed up to participate in this year’s Top Workplaces.

The 2023 event proved successful. More than 1,200 employers were invited to join and 91 organizations participated in an in-depth survey, with thousands of employees writing about what separates their workplace from the rest. Sixty-four employers were ultimately recognized.

Last year, Fidelity Investments was named the top-ranked employer in the large workplaces category. The New Mexico State Land Office placed first in the midsize workplaces category. And Balanced Physical Therapy + Wellness placed first in the small workplaces category.

Parameters of the program for this year are:

• Any organization — including public, private, nonprofit or government — with 35 or more employees in New Mexico is eligible for nomination.
• Workplaces are evaluated by their employees using a 24-question survey.
• Companies will be surveyed through March.
• The nomination deadline is Feb. 9.
• To nominate online, visit abqjournal.com/nominate.
• To nominate by phone, call 505-288-3443.

Anyone can nominate an employer to be surveyed and participation in the program does not cost employers anything. After the results are finalized, employers may choose to pay Energage to receive an analysis of the full survey results.

The Journal does not profit from those transactions. The Top Workplaces program for 2024 will be featured in a special section of the Journal’s Business Outlook later this year.
