Tell the story about what this nominee achieved since January 1 2013 (up to 525 words). Focus on specific accomplishments, and relate these accomplishments to past performance or industry norms. Be sure to mention obstacles overcome, innovations or discoveries made, and outcomes:

Adam Roth is the architect of the most impressive and renowned coworker engagement program in the staffing industry. As a result, Roth Staffing Companies became the only organization in 2013 to win all four of the most prestigious honors in its industry and did so for two consecutive years.

There are 17,000 staffing companies operating in the United States. Only five were selected by Staffing Industry Analysts as “Best Staffing Firms to Work For” in the large company category. Only a total of four staffing companies were named “Best Staffing Firms to Temp For.” Less than 1% of staffing firms were awarded “Best of Staffing® – Client Satisfaction” and “Best of Staffing® – Talent Satisfaction” honors; even fewer were awarded both. And only Roth Staffing received all four of these prominent honors.

Aside from industry accolades, Roth also was named one of Achiever’s “50 Most Engaged Workplaces in the U.S.” and received a “Best Place to Work” honor from the 2013 Best in Biz Awards.

Coworkers at Roth Staffing love their company. Their passion is tangible. At the helm is Adam Roth, President and Chief Operating Officer. He had a unique challenge to overcome – a national organization operating from more than 100 locations. Without the luxury of all Coworkers located on one campus, Adam designed programs that crossed this geographic divide and elevated an already compelling work culture to an unprecedented level.

In 2013, he became a regular guest-host of the VoiceAmerica Internet radio program “A Great Place to Work” alongside Curt Coffman, author of First, Break All the Rules and Follow This Path.

In regards to the Outcome Management Program developed by Adam Roth, Mr. Coffman said, “I have had the privilege of working with some of the most admired companies around the globe. The closest thing I have seen to a good, effective performance review is what Jack Welch developed at General Electric with his matrix approach and ‘vitality curve.’ Until now! In review of Adam’s Outcome Management Process, I am literally shaken by its focus, clarity and design. It is, by far, the best I have seen.”

The Outcome Management Process is one of more than a dozen interconnected programs and processes designed by Adam that ultimately bring life to the soul of the company. He has aligned people, leadership, systems and technology with a shared vision. Some of his accomplishments include the creation of a Customer Experience Department, implementation of virtual Town Hall meetings for open dialogue with the COO and CEO, construction of the Four Circles of Excellence in which all four areas experienced significant improvement including the Business circle where year-over-year profitability surpassed the industry average, and Adam’s ATOMIC System that led to branch growth and an impressive internal promotion rate—78%!

“From the Heart” is an intricate coworker engagement program which includes the first ever 9/80 Flex Schedule available in the staffing industry, quarterly community volunteer hours, gym membership at choice of facility, and more. Adam also launched the company’s Purpose :full charity initiative in 2013 with a companywide goal to raise 1 Million Meals for the No Kid Hungry® campaign. Roth Staffing will surpass that goal this August.
