The Process:
The Newfoundland & Labrador Employers' Council submits an Expression of Interest to members* electronically, typically in late fall. Interested parties must complete a Nomination Questionnaire. If the nominated organization scores at least 80% on the award criteria (as listed above), it will be short-listed for the award. Short-listed organizations must then complete a more in-depth questionnaire that delves deeper into the five awards criteria. These questionnaires are then used by the judging panel in rendering their decision (clarification on any items might be required).
All short-listed organizations will be recognized at the Employer of Distinction luncheon, typically held in February of each year.
*Note: To be considered, your organization must be a member in good standing of the Employers' Council.
