There is no deadline for Certification and you can start the process anytime. Once you are Certified, you will be considered for all relevant Best Workplaces lists for 12 months.
However, there are deadlines for each of our Best Workplaces lists. For us to consider you for a particular list, you must be Certified by that list’s deadline mentioned in the list calendar.
