Government Agencies and Schools. The evaluations also integrate findings by each magazine
independently to identify “Best of the Best” in relation to outreach and accessibility to the
minority, veteran, female, people with disabilities and LGBT population. These non-biased
studies are a valuable resource for the publication’s readers, jobseekers, business owners,
students, senior management, and consumers. The goal of the annual evaluations is not only to
bring the latest information and guidance to our readers, but also encourage active outreach and
diversity policies among corporations and government agencies. The studies are further designed
to assist corporate and government leaders in evaluating their ranking by comparing and
contrasting to their peers the success achieved within their industries and their measurement in
diversity.
