LONDON, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- Clients Vodafone, Deloitte, GeoServices and MedImmune also Scoop HRO
Practitioner Superstar Awards
HRO Today magazine, the leading Human Resources (HR) magazine read by
over 70,000 HR executives and leaders worldwide has published its list of
2010 Superstars which included Alexander Mann Solutions (AMS) founder and
CEO, Rosaleen Blair as the only non-US based Superstar in the "Providers"
category.
Rosaleen Blair is widely credited with pioneering the concept
of recruitment process outsourcing and continues to lead from the front, with
her vision and creativity driving the business and its people forward to
further success. The addition to the 2010 HRO Superstar list is yet further
recognition of a career of achievements that include highlights such as
winning Ernst & Young's London Business Products & Services Entrepreneur of
the Year in 2006, and the prestigious Veuve Clicquot Business Woman of the
Year in 2007.
Elliot Clark, Chairman and CEO of SharedXpertise Media, LLC, the
publisher of HRO Today magazine, said, "TBA."
This achievement follows on from Alexander Mann Solutions significant
achievements in HRO Today's Baker's Dozen 2009 awards, where they scooped the
Global Market Leader and Breadth of Services Leader awards.
Rosaleen Blair commented, "It's a tremendous honour to be recognised by
HRO Today with this award. From the outset, our culture of client focus and
driving innovation has defined Alexander Mann Solutions very being. We never
settle for second best and constantly challenge the norm, making sure our
clients get exactly what they require and more."
Alexander Mann Solutions clients were also included in the highly coveted
list of Practitioner Superstars. These include, Denise Edwards of Vodafone,
Alyson Sparks of Deloitte, Franck Thibault of GeoServices and Max Donley of
MedImmune.
These wins further confirm Alexander Mann Solutions' position as the
world's most geographically diverse provider of RPO services, and demonstrate
the consistently high standards that AMS and its clients offer in a global
business environment.
The criteria for inclusion in the Superstar lists were as follows
- Provider Superstars are chosen for the innovations they bring
to the marketplace. Sometimes they're prodded by clients; other times,
they're thinking creatively, offering services and solving issues that
are more cost-effective and of a higher quality of service than those
around them. In addition, they often act as consultants to businesses
and help buyers make necessary changes to policy that helps not only
their customers business, but also their own.
- Practitioner Superstars demonstrate a vision for building the
most effective HR services. HR outsourcing used to be a gamble, and
many past pioneering organisations helped to bring outsourcing into the
mainstream. They've become more sophisticated about deals, more
definitive about service level agreements, and more attentive to
development of their governance models.
