Overview:
This award is based on data information provided by the entrant and employee engagement scores verified by ContactCenterWorld using TopPlace2Work.com (TP2W) employee survey tool created and managed by our association.  Entrants will select a location and enter how many staff they have. If you have multiple locations you can combine them as 1 (one) center so long as they are all in the same country and pay just one entry fee based on the total count of all staff employed across all sites. As an example an entrant with say 4 centers totaling 6,000 staff only needs 259 across all 4 sites to be surveyed using TP2W

The TP2W survey process takes literally minutes to set up and staff can be sent links to complete a confidential online survey. Results are extremely valuable to the company and the highest verified scores count towards the award! 

There is a small fee to use TP2W in addition to the award entry fee of $395 USD . The TP2W fee is based on how many total contact center staff you employ and this also allows you to use the survey all year long) – see this page for details https://www.contactcenterworld.com/topplace2work/program.aspx
