Virginia Media Group Launches “Hampton Roads Top Workplace” Award

Virginia’s media group has opened a new window for local businesses that want to be named top workplaces. The award, which celebrates great work cultures, is open to any company with at least 35 staff in the Hampton Roads area. Winners will be announced in August, so companies still have a chance to join the list.

Deadline & How to Nominate

What’s Needed

  1. Nomination – Submit your company name by the deadline.
  2. Employee Survey – Employees must complete a 26‑question survey (takes only a few minutes).
  3. Data Collection – Survey results are collected by mid‑May and used to determine the finalists.

Survey Partner

Energage, a Pennsylvania‑based research firm, manages these surveys for media outlets across 65 markets nationwide. In the past year, they surveyed more than two million workers at over eight thousand organizations.

Why It Matters

Being named a Hampton Roads Top Workplace can boost morale, attract talent, and signal that an organization values its people while fostering a positive environment.
