Two award categories:

​

  1. Dealers & Marinas

  2. Marine Business: Manufacturers, Suppliers, Service Providers, Retailers and Distributors

​

* There can be more than one winner in each category.

 

Both categories have two classifications based on size of organization:

 

  • Tier One: 5 – 15 F/T & P/T employees

  • Tier Two: 16+ F/T & P/T employees

​

Dealer Groups and Individual Dealers

​

Dealer groups may participate as a single entity or on an individual store basis. If a group chooses to be assessed as a single entity, all surveys from participating stores will be combined to determine the overall award score. Stores within a group can be assessed individually. Data from individual stores within a group can be broken out into separate reports.

Not sure if this is right for you? Here are some benefits that might help you decide...

​

Leadership Development and Greater Employee Trust

​

The BICEOC program provides a unique opportunity to reconnect with your employees on a deeper level. The employer of choice opinion survey gets employees highly engaged and shows them you are listening. Ongoing, two-way communication throughout the process will build greater trust, commitment and loyalty with staff.  Establishing Communication and Action Plan teams present many new development opportunities for staff who are looking to improve their leadership skillset.

​

An Action Plan that Actually Works!

​

You've completed the survey, you've got your results, now what? This is where the rubber meets the road! You can now develop a targeted action plan that helps you address the areas that need improvement. As part of the reporting package, you get a Continuous Improvement action plan worksheet. This will help you fine tune your strategy, stay on track and deliver solutions in a timely manner. It's important to get started early and show measurable results. Demonstrate that you are committed to building a better workplace and that your employee's opinions matter!

​
