Time's Running Out: Only Two Weeks Left to Enter the Best Places To Work Awards Canada
The deadline for submitting your entry for the 2022 GamesIndustry.biz Canada Best Places To Work Awards is rapidly approaching, with just two weeks remaining to complete your application. Given the time required to finish the awards process, interested parties are advised to sign up without delay. The awards are open to all Canadian games companies, encompassing developers, publishers, service providers, retailers, and media outlets, with over 50 companies already on board. The judging period concludes on Friday, September 16th. The main award winners will be announced prior to MEGAMIGS, Canada's premier video games industry event in Montréal, while special award winners will be revealed during the event itself, with finalists invited to attend. The awards utilize a dual survey system, with one survey for employers (accounting for 20% of the score) and another for employees (accounting for 80% of the score). A robust red line check system has been implemented to ensure the voices of underrepresented groups within these organizations are heard. For a detailed explanation of the awards process and judging criteria, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions. All responses are kept confidential and deleted upon completion of the reporting process, with non-winning businesses remaining anonymous. Participants will receive a complimentary report featuring their overall scores, with the option to purchase benchmarking and advanced reports. Additionally, all participants will receive 5 free job credits for the GamesIndustry.biz Jobs Board. Alongside the list of 'Best Places', special prizes will be awarded in areas such as CSR, Health & Wellbeing, Education, and environmental support. These awards are automatically entered upon registration and are based on individual area scores. The 2022 Canada Best Boss will also be announced. To participate, simply click the registration link.
