The program is administered by the Idaho Business Review, the Post Register, POPULUS, and Price Associates. Participants have the opportunity to be recognized for excellence two different ways.

In order to help Idaho organizations effectively and efficiently monitor and maintain their workforce engagement, the Program provides a wealth of detailed comparative metrics, customized analyses and recommendations, presentations, and consulting opportunities.
