The Best Places to Work in Idaho (TM)
|
The Best Places to Work in Idaho program is an annual, statewide, extremely cost-effective employee survey for organizations with 10 or more employees in the state. The Best Places to Work in Idaho is a community of organizations working together to identify, recognize, and inform Idaho employers of Idaho’s best employment practices using a data-driven process. This community is composed of Idaho universities, chambers of commerce, Idaho chapters of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and is organized by POPULUS®, a marketing and HR research firm. |

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.
The community has rallied around the following three key concepts.
- The nobility and honor inherent in employment.
- The capacity employment possesses to generate financial and emotional prosperity when it's done right.
- The excess profitability from doing employment right.
The program consists of the following:
- Program website at www.bestplacestoworkinidaho.com (all year).
- Promotion through the community's contact lists (Dec - Jan).
- Survey created and executed by POPULUS (Jan - Feb).
- Winners and honorees selected by POPULUS based on their employee feedback scores (Mar).
- Up to 15 "winners" will be chosen in each of three employer size categories based on number of Idaho-based employees.
- Other "Honorees" may also be identified based on employee feedback scores.
- Three on-campus award ceremonies at Boise State University, Idaho State University, and the University of Idaho (Apr).
- Award ceremonies are hosted by the Career Centers from these universities in conjunction with the local Chambers of Commerce.
- Commemorative publication profiling each of the winners (Apr).
- University Career Center banners featuring the winners and honorees (all year).
- Campus generated media announcements of the winners and honorees (Apr).
