Participation in the Factory of the Year/GEO brings only benefits: of course, winning a prestigious award like the 'Factory of the Year' or the 'GEO Award' is a great incentive for employees. Nevertheless, irrespective of winning an award, all participants will profit from this award.

"We discovered several weaknesses in our firm just by filling the questionnaire out," is what participants reported time and again. All companies will receive a detailed, confidential assessment providing them with information on their position as opposed to comparable companies. Short-listed candidates will be visited by the Factory of the Year/GEO team on-site and will subsequently receive direct feedback. The Factory of the Year/GEO Congress, where the best give away their secrets for success, is - after all - an ideal forum for the sharing of ideas.
