The Workforce Optimas Awards are a celebration of the power of human resources management. Annually, Workforce recognizes HR programs that have made their businesses better. The winners are selected in 10 categories: General Excellence, Competitive Advantage, Financial Impact, Global Outlook, Innovation, Managing Change, Partnership, Quality of Life, Service, and Vision. The winning programs are profiled in the March issue of Workforce magazine with additional information provided at Workforce online.
It is with great pleasure that Workforce celebrates the winners of Optimas Awards 2000:
| General Excellence: In the come-and-go food industry, Jamba Juice has found recruiting and retention strategies that can squeeze out winners from a dry labor pool. |
| Financial Impact: A diverse group of professionals bring staff development issues to the top of the United Nations’ list of concerns. |
| Innovation: The HR team at Bayer’s Myerstown, Pennsylvania, production facility initiated a process that helped the plant become more profitable. |
| Partnership: By providing a culture that supports employees’ passions, Patagonia reaps success and, in turn, supports “green” causes worldwide. |
| Service: The challenge to GTE HR managers was tantalizing: find a credible way to measure HR’s contribution to the business. |
