Great blog! Just wanted to let you know that nominations for Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For 2009 list are due March 31, 2008.
The Great Place to Work Institute, which compiles this list, also does lists for small and medium sized companies. Those deadlines are later in the year (see our website at http://greatplacetowork.com/).
The Institute is dedicated to “building a better society by helping companies transform their workplaces.” Given how much time we spend at work, isn’t that in everyone’s best interest (kids included)?
The more companies that apply, the better workplaces will become!
