If so, you can help your company and CEO win a 2019 Glassdoor Employees Choice Award for the Top CEOs .Today, Glassdoor is excited to share the 2019 awards criteria to help employees and employers better understand what it takes to be considered.Unlike other workplace awards, there is no self-nomination process or cost involved. To win a Glassdoor Employees Choice Award, winners are determined based on feedback provided by those who really know a CEO best - her or his employees. If employees dont share reviews on Glassdoor during the year-long eligibility timeframe, a CEO cannot be considered. Thats why we encourage all employees to share a review today.When providing a company review, employees are asked to share their opinion on some of the best reasons to work for their employer (pros), any downsides (cons) and are encouraged to provide advice to management. Employees are also asked to rate several factors tied to their employment experience, including sentiment around their CEOs job performance, in plus-rechnen to rating workplace attributes like senior management among others. Specifically, when rating their CEO on Glassdoor, employees are able to choose from one of three options approve, disapprove or no opinion of the CEO.For the 2019 Employees Choice Awards recognizing the Top CEOs, Glassdoor will feature six distinct categories in five countries. For each category, company reviews and ratings from current and former employees will be considered between May 2, 2018 and May 1, 2019. Reviews submitted after May 1, 2019 will not be considered for the 2019 awards.While Glassdoor accepts reviews from former employees within five years of leaving a company, only reviews from former employees who have left the company in 2018 or 2019 will be considered for the Employees Choice Awards for Top CEOs.In addition, each list of winners is based on local-employee feedback shared on Glassdoor. For example, reviews from U.S.-based employees will be used to determine if a CEO is eligible for a U.S. list , while reviews from UK-based employees will be used to determine if a CEO is eligible for the UK list . A CEO can win a Top CEO award in multiple countries.To determine the 2019 winners, quantity, quality and consistency of reviews and ratings will be taken into account during the eligibility timeframe. The following information sheds more light on these three areas 1. For quantity of reviews , a minimum number of ratings are required across two leadership attributes that employees can rate when submitting a company review . They include CEO job performance and senior management. If there are not enough ratings across both or either of the two leadership attributes, a CEO will not be considered. As part of the algorithm developed by the Glassdoor Economic Research team , a CEOs job performance is mostly taken into account, along with other factors including an employers senior management rating.To be considered for a specific category, a CEO and employer must meet the following requirements during the eligibility timeframe100 Top CEOs U.S. large companies At least 100 ratings across the two leadership attributes from U.S.-based employees At least 1,000 employees at the end of the eligibility timeframe.50 Top CEOs U.S. small & medium companies At least 35 ratings across the two leadership attributes from U.S.-based employees Fewer than 1,000 employees at the end of the eligibility timeframe.50 Top CEOs UK At least 35 ratings across the two leadership attributes from UK-based employees At least 1,000 employees at the end of the eligibility timeframe.25 Top CEOs Canada At least 25 ratings across the two leadership attributes from Canada-based employees At least 1,000 employees at the end of t he eligibility timeframe.10 Top CEOs France At least 20 ratings across the two leadership attributes from France-based employees At least 1,000 employees at the end of the eligibility timeframe.10 Top CEOs Germany At least 20 ratings across the two leadership attributes from Germany-based employees At least 1,000 employees at the end of the eligibility timeframe.For all categories, a CEOs employer must have at least a 3.0 overall company rating and at least a 2.5 senior management rating during the eligibility period. A CEO must also be currently in the role and featured on their employers profile on Glassdoor as of May 1, 2019. In cases in which there are multiple CEOs for one company, Glassdoor recognizes the CEO(s) on the employers Glassdoor profile as of May 1, 2019.

Employers have until May 1, 2019 to update their current CEO and/or global employee count, or size as liste d in the Overview section, on their Glassdoor profile with a Free Employer Account . In addition, the awards take into account various types of employment status including full-time, part-time, contract and freelance, however, intern company reviews are not considered.

For quality of reviews , Glassdoors proprietary awards algorithm takes into account what employees have to say that shows winning CEOs truly outshine the rest in the eyes of their employees.

This includes treating all CEOs and employers equally regardless of whether or not they are a customer of Glassdoor. If the Glassdoor eligibility panel suspects and/or determines official company representatives have attempted to influence employee reviews or have tampered with the process of collecting authentic, unbiased reviews, including intentional or unintentional abrollcontainer-transportsystem that violate the Glassdoor Community Guidelines and/or Terms of Use , a CEO and/or employer may be excluded from awards consideration. Exclusion from eligibility can be triggered by such acts as, but not limited to, management attempting to leave false reviews, management coercion of employees to submit positive reviews or other activities and/or events that could damage employees faith in the CEO, the employer, its senior leadership and/or adversely affect its overall rating on Glassdoor. A best practice is to encourage employees to leave an unbiased review every 12 months. 2019 winners will be announced in June 2019.
