Demonstrated Business Results
Optimas Award winners have helped open new markets around the world, reinvented city government, slashed bureaucracy in the federal government, established Mexico's first HMO, taken health care to rural America, revitalized failing business units and improved the acquisition process.

Not surprisingly, Optimas Award winners have pushed their organizations to record profits, greater market share, higher stock value and better corporate reputations. In short, they have produced tangible, measurable business results.

Results-Oriented Workforce Management Is Practiced Everywhere
The Optimas Award winners prove that astute workforce management can be practiced anywhere: in family businesses and the public sector, in the Fortune 500 and in small organizations, in big cities and on the farm, in industries of every sort.

Optimas Award winners are "among the best" (which is what optimas means in Latin) and reflect the leadership, vision and energy that define workforce management.

How to Submit Your Nomination
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2008 Optimas Awards. Please submit your nomination form by April 24, 2009. Winners demonstrate how their initiatives achieved measurable business results in response to the organization's business needs, issues or challenges.

Winners Celebrate at the Awards Ceremony
Each winning program is profiled in an article printed in Workforce Management magazine and published on the Workforce Management Web site (www.workforce.com).
