I am using the password supplied to me, but I cannot log in. What should I do?

The survey for your company may have been closed to further entries. The closing date for the online survey was provided in your invitation email. If it is before midnight on the indicated closing date, you may be entering your password incorrectly. If you received your login ID in an email, the easiest solution is to copy and paste it directly into the Login ID field, making sure not to capture any trailing spaces or extra characters in the process. If you cannot cut and paste it, double check that you are entering the Login ID exactly as it was provided to you. Note that the Login ID should be a string of ten alpha-numeric characters only.

If you still receive a login error, contact the helpdesk for India's Best Companies to Work For at studycoordinator@greatplacetowork.in or for Sri Lanka's Best Companies to Work For at  lk_coordinator@greatplacetowork.com
