How to win a GamesIndustry.biz Best Places To Work Award

gamesindustry.biz:

The GamesIndustry.biz Best Places To Work Awards are back for 2024. We're very excited about the whole thing.

We know these awards are quite in-depth and they may seem a little complicated. We get a whole lot of questions. Is it really free? (Yes) Is our data really only being used for judging? (Yes) Is it open to all employees? (Mostly).

So we've created a little guide, and a friendly FAQ, to explain how the whole thing works...

If you're interested in understanding the judging process, we've got a detailed guide to how we decide the winners here.

1. Fill In the 'Take Part' form

This form basically asks three questions. Who are you? How do we get in touch? How big is your company?

That last question may look strange, but it's because the size of your company depends on how many staff need to fill in the survey. That's right, there's a survey. Let's move on to point Two.

2. Check your inbox

Within 24 hours of filling in the Take Part form, you'll get an email from us. The email will detail everything we need from you to complete your entry. But most importantly, it'll contain a link to our two forms: The Employer Form and The Employee Survey

3. Send Out The Employee Survey

The Employee Survey asks your staff to agree or disagree with just over 30 statements. It takes about 5 minutes to complete. Send it to all of your staff. In the email we sent you, we will tell you how many staff need to fill this in. We will keep you updated on how you're doing so we have time to send any reminders.

This survey is worth 80% of your final score. It's the most important part.

4. Fill In The Employer Form

The next thing to do is fill in your employer form. It's a lengthy form, but here's the thing: You Can Skip Questions. So if there's something you don't want to share, or something you simply don't know the answer to... that's fine. There are lots of points available on this form, so it's not the end of the world if you don't answer all the questions. However, do try and answer them.
