Other of the group’s awards include the Rising Star of the Year Award, which is eligible to women aged 35 and under, and the Employer of the Year Award, which recognizes the company that best promotes women's interests. The Man of the Year Award is presented to senior-level male professional who is dedicated to promoting the advancement of women in the cleaning industry through mentoring. The Eidyia Award is open to companies or individuals leading efforts to reduce illiteracy rates within the industry's workforce.
