• Tip 2: Get started on the benefits audit and employee survey with Quantum Workplace. Once you submit your application to Inc., you’ll need to complete the benefits audit and employee survey. You’ll receive an email from Quantum Workplace within 2-5 business days of submitting your application with instructions for the audit and the employee survey. Both must be completed by February 23. You can learn more about the audit and survey here. 
  
  
• Tip 3: Meet the minimum employee participation for the employee survey. This is one of the most important steps for your Inc. Best Workplaces nomination to be complete: You must reach a minimum level of employee participation for the survey. This minimum level of participation is based on your organization size.

Companies that achieve the highest scores in both the benefits audit and employee survey earn a spot on the list. That’s it! The score criteria for inclusion on the list vary based on company size, ensuring fair comparison within each size category.
