Welcome to NAA’s Best Places to Work Awards

NAA’s Best Places to Work Awards will recognize member organizations that are creating environments focusing on collaboration, innovation and hard work. A challenging, yet fun atmosphere results in motivated employees who are excited about learning and growing. The awards pay tribute to successful suppliers and management companies that contribute to the industry.

With each nomination, organizations will launch a very concise, yet insightful employee satisfaction survey based on the Net Promoter Scores (NPS). All nominees will receive an employee satisfaction report and the anonymous employee raw data once the winners are announced. This information can be used to make improvements to your organization and as a benchmark for future performance.

What is New in 2021?

This year we made several updates to the awards program including a new contest structure to reward more organizations, a more clear and fair way to size organizations, and additional ways to promote winners.

Winners will be determined by their overall employee satisfaction rating among all nominees in their individual contest. The NAA will recognize the number one organization in each of the six contests and all other organizations in the top five of the Suppliers contests and top ten in the Management Companies contests. Those nominees whose scores surpass the industry benchmark score will be named a finalist.

“When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.”

The Employee Satisfaction Survey

The NAA Best Places to Work Awards utilize a Net Promoter Score or NPS-based survey that anonymously measures employee experience. We provide you with everything needed to solicit responses from your employees and provide updates along the way to make sure you get a statistically valid result.

Surveys can be completed online using any computer, tablet or smartphone and only takes a few minutes to complete. The “About Your Employer” questions are used to score your entry. All other demographic information and questions can be used by your team to segment employees for further analysis and improvements.
