For all the complaining people do about their jobs, it turns out a lot of people like what they do and where they work.
If you work at what you think is one of the Cincinnati region's top workplaces, we're looking for you and your employer.
The Enquirer and Cincinnati.com are accepting nominations for our Top Workplaces 2022 edition. Could your employer be among the 100 or more to be honored? Sure, but only if you nominate it.
If you're an employer, being named a Top Workplace is a badge of distinction in a year that has been shaken by some tough times brought on by the coronavirus.
Cincinnati-area employers also frequently complain about problems in getting the best applicants for openings. Being a Top Workplace can help you punch through the clutter.
This year, Fort Mitchell-based Huff Realty was selected as the top local workplace among companies with more than 500 employees. For the second year in a row, Sycamore Township-based BRG Realty Group won the top spot among midsize companies (150 to 499 employees), while Mercy Montessori School in East Walnut Hills was tops among firms with 50 to 149 employees.
In all, 135 companies were recognized as Top Workplaces for 2021.

Here's how it works
An employee nominates a company. The Enquirer's research partner, Energage, will contact nominated organizations and ask them to participate in a survey between January and March.
Any organization – public, private, governmental or nonprofit – with at least 50 employees in the 15-county Cincinnati region can participate. The region includes Brown, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties in Southwest Ohio; Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton and Pendleton counties in Northern Kentucky; and Dearborn, Franklin and Ohio counties in Indiana.
The deadline to nominate an organization is Dec. 17.
Energage conducts Top Workplaces surveys for more than 40 major metro newspapers and surveyed 2.5 million employees last year, including roughly 37,000 in the Cincinnati region.
A special section featuring the Top Workplaces will publish in The Enquirer and on Cincinnati.com in early summer.
It's free to participate and every company or nonprofit organization that participates will receive feedback on its workplace. To nominate a company, go online to www.cincinnati.com/nominate or call 513-206-9789.
