Each year, the Washington Business Journal recognizes the 50 best places to work in the greater Washington area.

These awards are based on the results of the Best Places to Work employee engagement survey, which was developed by Quantum Workplace.  The survey contains 37 questions and used a six part Likert-scale model (strongly disagree, disagree, somewhat disagree, somewhat agree, agree and strongly agree).

Unlike other workplace awards programs, there is no subjective element in selecting the winners … judges don’t tip the scales based on their opinions or advertising revenue.  The employee engagement score is the only criteria.

The BPTW program yields tremendous benefits.  In our opinion, an organization’s employee engagement number is a critical one on the Dashboard.  Every participant gains statistically valid data about employee engagement, which can help them improve their performance.

According to Quantum, organizations with employee engagement scores in the top ten percent experience measureable results, including:

• 87% show increased revenue
• 86% report increased market share
• 57% report lower employee turnover

Congratulations again to the winners.  Full speed ahead!
