Great employers are some of the unsung heroes of our community. Once again The Bottom Line magazine is seeking to recognise the very best of them in the sixth annual Top Ten Employers That Stand Out awards.

The people-based survey endeavours to find which of the Island’s companies offer the most rewarding work environment across a number of key employment areas.

This is the fourth year the survey has partnered with Mindmaps, one of Bermuda’s leading quantitative research firms, to create the online survey and provide statistical analysis of the key measurement areas. Additionally, PwC, Bermuda’s largest professional services firm will be sponsoring the event for the third year.

The survey focuses on generating data from employees regarding a number of key employment areas including staff benefits, hiring rates, workplace safety and conditions, internal communication, compensation, corporate culture and overall satisfaction, among other areas.

International and local companies vie for top honours and those that emerge from the survey with the highest ratings will be honoured at an awards ceremony at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess later this year.

In the 2013 survey, it was FedEx who ranked number one, closely followed by reinsurer Validus Holdings, air conditioning experts Air Care and past winner Bacardi.

The top ten will also be featured in an issue of The Bottom Line dedicated to the survey and published on December 1.

Do you think your company has what it takes to be a top employer in Bermuda? This year’s survey entrance period is open until Friday, June 27. Companies must have 25 employees or more to be eligible to enter.
