Top Small Workplaces

Winning Workplaces and The Wall Street Journal are collaborating to identify exceptional small organizations – private, nonprofit or publicly held – in our second annual ranking of the Top Small Workplaces. Through a national search we will be selecting small employers that foster teamwork, flexibility, high productivity and innovation while also treating their employees with respect, providing opportunities for professional growth and advancement, and providing benefits, both traditional and nontraditional, that make the employee experience better.

Each candidate is a North American organization that:

• is independent - not a unit of a larger corporation
• has no more than $200 million in annual revenues
• has 500 or fewer employees
• has been in business at least five years

The nomination deadline for 2008 was February 1. Nominated organizations completed online applications between February and March 2008.

The selection process will include the following steps:

• Finalists were selected on April 30.
• The Top Small Workplaces will be announced on October 13, 2008, in a Wall Street Journal Report on Small Business.
• Small workplaces from across the country will be featured at a conference and celebration in Chicago on October 14 and 15, 2008, which will recognize finalists and honor the 2008 Top Small Workplaces.
