2011 Program Registration

Thank you for your interest in participating in the 2011 "Outside's Best Places to Work" program. Registration is simple, however we encourage you to read the Assessment Process information carefully before submitting your registration form.

To participate, all companies begin by filling out and submitting a registration form either online or by downloading the PDF Registration form and faxing it to 717-236-6803.

Registration Deadline: January 28, 2011

Once the registration information is received by Best Companies Group, companies will receive a confirmation email which will include additional instructions. There is a nominal participation fee to cover the costs associated with the paper surveying process (to cover printing, shipping and processing of the surveys). The participation fee is based upon the size of the company.

Participation fees: Fees differ and are determined based upon the size of the company and whether or not you need for us to administer the survey via traditional paper surveys.

Questionnaire
How did you hear about the program?
If Other
 
Did you participate last year?
Please be aware that as part of the “Best" program, a certain threshold of employee survey responses must be received in order for the analysts to consider the survey data valid.  If a company does not meet this threshold, their full consideration for the “Best” list may be jeopardized, even resulting in elimination.  In the rare case a company’s response rate is extremely low, a statistically valid Employee Feedback Report (if purchased) will not be presented.
