What is the Editors’ List, and why are we doing it?
Inc.’s Best Workplaces Editors’ List will showcase the companies that are not only the best workplaces, but also are taking it a step further, pushing the boundaries and building a workplace of the future. We want to showcase the best of the best. This is a chance for you to tell our editors in your own words what makes your company great.
How is it different from what the Best Workplaces Award already is?
The Inc. Best Workplaces list is created in partnership with Quantum Workplace based on your employee feedback. For the Editors’ List, entries will be evaluated exclusively by Inc.’s editors. The honorees will be featured online.
Are there qualifications for this?
You must be a Best Workplaces applicant and must add the Editors’ List consideration to your application.
Is there a separate application for the Editors' List?
There is not a separate application for the Editors’ List. However, if you choose to apply, there are two additional application questions you’ll need to answer:
