This marks the eighth year Fast Company<\/em> will be recognizing companies and organizations from around the world that most effectively empower employees at all levels to improve processes, create new products, or invent whole new ways of doing business.<\/p>\n In addition to ranking the world\u2019s Best Workplaces for Innovators, we will also recognize companies in 19 different categories.<\/p>\n What differentiates Best Workplaces for Innovators from existing best-places-to-work lists is that it goes beyond benefits, competitive compensation, and collegiality (mere table stakes in today\u2019s competitive talent marketplace) to identify which companies are actively creating and sustaining the kinds of innovative cultures that many top employees value even more than money. With Best Workplaces for Innovators, Fast Company <\/em>aims to identify companies where employees can do the best work of their careers and improve the lives of hundreds, thousands, even millions of people around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For more than a decade, Fast Company<\/em> has been recognizing outstanding achievement in business innovation with its annual awards programs. In addition to Best Workplaces for Innovators, Fast Company\u2019s Most Innovative Companies, Innovation by Design, World Changing Ideas, Brands That Matter, and the Next Big Thing in Tech lists have celebrated thousands of organizations transforming industries and shaping society through paradigm-shifting products, insights, or services.<\/p>\n For more information on applying, see the FAQs<\/a>.\u00a0 The final deadline is now April 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n To sign up for Best Workplaces for Innovators notifications, <\/em>register here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
