    This is a very comprehensive listing. However, you did miss the competition our nonprofit, Winning Workplaces, did in 2009 with The Wall Street Journal: the Top Small Workplaces. The Journal article on them appears at: http://bit.ly/3KLPA9

    Incidentally, we’ve already opened up our 2010 Top Small Company Workplaces competition, with a new media partner, Inc. Magazine. Entries are being accepted through January 22, 2010 at the link under my name. The prize is being featured in Inc. in summer 2010.
