The nomination deadline for this year's Top Workplaces awards has been extended to midnight on Feb. 24.

The initiative, spearheaded by The Arizona Republic/azcentral sales team, honors workplace culture and is underway for the third year. Organizations with 35 or more employees in Arizona are eligible to compete for 2023 Top Workplaces recognition.

Recruiting and retaining talent are at the heart of the Arizona Top Workplaces program. Workplaces are evaluated by employees using a short 24-question survey that takes about five minutes to complete. Employees will be surveyed from December to March.

There is no cost to participate, and winners will earn the coveted gold Top Workplaces badge to tout their achievement. The campaign results will be published in summer 2023.

Exton, Penn.-based Energage conducts Top Workplaces surveys for media in 61 markets nationwide and surveyed more than 2 million employees at more than 8,000 organizations in the past year.

The nomination deadline was extended to Feb. 24. Anyone can nominate any organization, whether it is public, private, nonprofit, a school, or even a government agency. To nominate an employer, just go to  azcentral.com/nominate or call 480-937-0721.

Last year, 120 companies were featured as Arizona Top Workplaces.
