Application Time For 2023 Best Places To Work In Indiana Program

It’s time for Hoosier companies to see if their workplace has that certain kind of magic. Employers can now apply for the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s annual Best Places to Work in Indiana program.

The awards honor top organizations in the state as determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. Company evaluations and the selection process are administered by Workforce Research Group.

Companies must have at least 15 employees in Indiana to be eligible. Out-of-state parent companies are also eligible to participate if at least 15 full-time employees are in the state.

“Given what everyone has been through the last few years, taking care of your employees is arguably more important than ever. It’s not only the right thing to do, but it’s imperative for recruitment and retention in such a competitive and changing business climate,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar. “We remain thrilled to offer the Best Places to Work in Indiana event and evaluation process – now in its 18th year – and are excited to see what approaches companies are taking with their workplace policies.”

To take part, employers complete a questionnaire and employees fill out an anonymous engagement and satisfaction survey. All companies that apply will receive a thorough report analyzing strengths and opportunities for improvement in their workplace culture.

Winners are chosen in four groups: small companies of between 15 and 74 U.S. employees; medium companies of between 75 and 249 U.S. employees; large companies of between 250 and 999 U.S. employees; and major companies with 1,000 or more U.S. employees.

The application deadline is Friday, Dec. 2. To apply, visit www.bestplacestoworkindiana.com.

The selected companies will be honored on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at the Best Places to Work awards dinner at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. Winners will also be recognized via a special supplement to the Indiana Chamber’s bimonthly BizVoice® magazine and through Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick – both of which reach statewide audiences.

Program partners with the Indiana Chamber and BizVoice® are Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, Workforce Research Group, HR Indiana SHRM, Wellness Council of Indiana and the Institute for Workforce Excellence.
