ince 1991, the Optimas Awards have been a source of ideas, direction
and inspiration for workforce management professionals. The awards celebrate the
winners’ success at solving some of the biggest business challenges of our time.
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
