Large employer (500 or more employees): Xerox (document solutions company)
Medium employer (200 to 499 employees): Sofitel (hotel chain)
Small employer (50 to 199 employees): L-IPSE (IT consulting firm)

The competition also evaluates employees' productive engagement and identifies organizational strengths and weaknesses to allow businesses to adopt the most appropriate tools.
