SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RiseSmart, the leader in enterprise career management solutions, was awarded its fourth consecutive Stevie® Award for the Most Innovative Company of the Year at this year’s 12th Annual American Business Awards, the nation’s premier business awards program. This win makes RiseSmart the only company to be awarded four consecutive Stevie Awards in this category since the launch of the program.
More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes, and virtually every industry, were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Most Innovative Company of the Year, Management Team of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year. RiseSmart was awarded the 2014 Silver Stevie Award for the Most Innovative Company of the Year category.
“It’s an honor for us to recognize and celebrate such an outstanding class of organizations and individuals,” said Michael Gallagher, President and CEO of the Stevie Awards. “The judges were especially discerning this year. All of this year’s Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners should be proud that the judges recognized their achievements and their ability to express those achievements in a way that captured the judges’ hearts and imaginations.”
This spring, RiseSmart was one of only 15 companies to make LAROCQUE’s #hrwins list. RiseSmart was also named one of the Top 100 Workplaces in The Bay Area by the Bay Area News Group and awarded the 2014 Leadership 500 Excellence Award. These awards, coupled with an exclusive endorsement by the American Hospital Association and an $11 million investment by Accel-KKR, have made for an impressive year for a company that’s already showed its immeasurable value in less than a decade.
“We are proud of the innovative work we do at RiseSmart,” said Sanjay Sathe, RiseSmart President and CEO. “Receiving such an esteemed award for the fourth year in a row serves to solidify our commitment to changing the face of the human capital industry.
