The Employee Engagement & Retention category recognizes companies that give their employees a voice in business strategy and decisions, show appreciation for employees through rewards and recognition, embrace a diverse workforce, encourage work/life balance, and promote the company’s mission in a way that supports the personal and professional values of the employees.

The Workforce Development category recognizes employers whose workforce practices have generated significant results, benefits, and solutions to the professional and technical development of its employees, or for individuals pursuing job training/retraining for either future employment or transitioning into anticipated skills needs with their current employer.
