We do accept third-party submissions, however, please note, submitters are required to collect internal information from company employees, including a company representative (such as the head of human resources or the head of operations), as well as a full-time, mid-level employee (such as supervisor, department manager or team lead).
Can I nominate a company that was selected as one of CRE's Best Places to Work last year?
To avoid redundancy, we try to vary the organizations that we profile from year-to-year, however, you may submit a nomination for a previously chosen Best Place to Work by including updated details and testimonies that do not mirror the previous year’s submission.
