Deadline extended for Best Places to Work nominations

The deadline is nearing to register for Pensions & Investments' seventh-annual Best Places to Work in Money Management program.

The registration deadline has been extended to June 12.

A simple yet thorough two-step company assessment determines company rankings in the program, managed by P&I partner Best Companies Group, an independent research firm.

In the first part, employers complete a questionnaire. In part two, employees complete a survey.

Several changes have been made to speed up registration and make the data more valuable for participating employers.

One change implemented by Best Companies is one-third fewer questions in the employer survey. In the employee survey, Best Companies now also will ask for a respondent's birth year, which will allow it to categorize employee responses by generational groupings, such as baby boomers or millennials.

Results will be published online and in the Dec. 10 issue of P&I, and will include profiles and photos of top-ranked organizations.

Last year, the program recognized a record 61 firms.

To register, visit pionline.com/bptw2018. You'll also find sample surveys and answers to frequently asked questions there. Companies must have at least 20 U.S. employees and at least $100 million in assets under management or advisement to be considered.

Participation in the program is free. For a look at last year's winners, visit pionline.com/bptw2017.
