Developers of Ultra-Staff EDGE Staffing and Recruiting Software
win distinguished company culture award.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Automated Business Designs (ABD), developers of Ultra-Staff
EDGE staffing and recruiting software, was named a 2024 Best and
Brightest Company to Work For® in both Chicago and in the Nation. This distinguished
honor is the ninth consecutive year that ABD has been recognized by
the Chicago Best and Brightest Program and the eighth consecutive
year that ABD has been recognized by the National Best and
Brightest Program.
We have an incredibly talented team at ABD
who is passionate about their work. We want to do everything we can
to foster a work culture they enjoy being a part of each day.
The Best and Brightest Program honors companies that distinguish
themselves as having the most innovative business acuteness and
thoughtful human resource practices. The ten to one ratio of this
program distinguishes winning companies as truly innovative in
their employee engagement execution. An independent research firm
evaluates each company's entry, based on key measures in various
categories. With over 25 years of experience conducting the Best
and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business
Resources (NABR) has identified numerous best Human Resource
practices and provided benchmarking for companies that continue to
be leaders in employment standards. Organizations must complete a
rigorous application demonstrating their employees are provided
with the resources and support for both professional and personal
success. Additionally, organizations are judged by confidential
employee responses.
ABD exceeded the national median score in several categories
including Leadership, Strategy, and Company Performance; Employee
Education and Development; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion;
Community Initiatives and Corporate Responsibility; Communications
and Shared Vision; Creative, Wellness and Wellbeing Solutions; and
Leadership. ABD's nomination included details of their
comprehensive benefits package, which includes 100% Blue Cross Blue
Shield healthcare coverage paid for by ABD and a generous
401K company match. It also
highlighted the company's hybrid work schedule and flexible PTO
that helps foster a healthy work-life balance.
One of the biggest achievements this past year was paying it
forward within the staffing industry. Over the past 40+ years, ABD
has been mindful of giving back to the staffing industry through
their involvement with local and national staffing associations.
This year they continued to pay it forward through two new
initiatives, Quick Tip Thursdays and The Staffing Buzz Network.
Quick Tip Thursdays is a program where each week an ABD team member
provides a 60-second video tip related to the staffing industry or
Ultra-Staff EDGE staffing and recruiting software. The tip is
published throughout social media, on YouTube, and it's featured in
the ABD customer newsletter. The Staffing Buzz Network was also
started in 2023, which is a podcast that dives into the latest
staffing industry trends and news. Each episode an expert from the
industry is featured to share their expertise and insights into the
staffing and recruiting space. Both Quick Tip Thursdays and The
Staffing Buzz Network equip staffing professionals with resources
to stay ahead of the curve.
This past year ABD was also awarded a Gold Stevie® Award
for Best Time and Expense Solution and received recognition on G2®,
a leading software review site. ABD's software solution,
Ultra-Staff EDGE was awarded with 20+ G2 badges, including High
Performer and Highest User Adoption Badges. These achievements help
ABD excel as a Best and Brightest Company to Work For®.
"All of us at ABD are proud to be recognized by these
organizations as it reminds us that the camaraderie, dedication,
and knowledge that the entire team shares on a daily basis is what
makes ABD so special," said Mary
Hauck, Senior Systems Engineer at Automated Business
Designs. "We all do our best to make sure that the Ultra-Staff EDGE
software is the leader in the industry and knowing what we do for
our clients and for the staffing community makes us tremendously
proud."
A new best practice that was implemented this year was a
professional development program that focuses on continuous
education. One aspect of this program is called Wisdom Wednesdays,
which welcomes employees to join sessions every Wednesday morning
to learn more about the software solutions ABD provides to the
staffing industry and hear about real-world scenarios of how the
software is used. Each week a different expert in the company takes
a deep dive into a specific tool, feature, or solution within the
Ultra-Staff EDGE suite. Another initiative in the program was
offering more employees opportunities to attend local and national
conferences and events. Industry events give employees the
opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and learn more about
the industry they service. Both of these initiatives in the
professional development program help employees expand their
knowledge and grow.
ABD's nomination also included time dedicated away from the desk
for social events and community service. Throughout the year the
ABD team has both large and small events. From a summer outing at
Top Golf and the annual March Madness Office Pool to a chili
cookoff and catered lunches, ABD makes it a priority to incorporate
time throughout the year to take a break from work and enjoy time
together. Every birthday is also celebrated with a special treat in
the office of the birthday person's choosing. In addition to social
outings though, community service plays a big role in the culture
at ABD. Every year ABD sponsors a 5K
run/walk to support a scholarship program for high school girls in
financial need. ABD team members participate in the walk together.
Throughout the year, ABD also makes holiday cards and Valentine's
Day Goodie Bags for a local organization that provides meals to the
elderly.
"We have an incredibly talented team at ABD who is passionate
about their work," commented Terri
Roeslmeier, President and CEO at Automated Business Designs.
"We want to do everything we can to foster a work culture they
enjoy being a part of each day. We thank the Best and Brightest
Companies to Work For® program for recognizing us with this big
honor."
Automated Business Designs will be recognized at Chicago's Best and Brightest Award Ceremony on
September 12th at the Chicago
Oakbrook Marriott.
