?? Stevie-winner Bluegrass Bottling launched just a week before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, starting with only two employees and one client. Despite the challenging timing, this woman-owned business has grown to serve over 75 brands and employ 22 people, all while focusing on the needs of small craft producers. When the pandemic forced them to put bottling spirits on hold, they quickly pivoted to producing hand sanitizer. Their ability to adapt, find new suppliers, and maintain fair pricing, even when costs rose, showed remarkable resilience. These early partnerships, formed in a time of crisis, continue to help drive their growth today. As the country reopened, Bluegrass Bottling shifted back to its original goal: bottling bourbon whiskey. They’ve since expanded their offerings to include vodka, gin, rum, and more, with no minimum case requirements—helping small distillers get their products to market. Their growth has been impressive, but their mission remains the same: to focus on their clients' success. In a male-dominated industry, Bluegrass Bottling stands out as a woman-owned company, fostering a culture of innovation and teamwork. As they continue to expand, their journey is one of resilience, growth, and dedication to supporting craft spirits. Bluegrass Bottling won a Bronze #StevieAward for Fastest Growing Company of the Year - Up to 100 Employees in The 2024 American Business Awards?. ?? Read the full blog ? https://hubs.ly/Q02Y4Gzf0

?? Developed to address the evolving needs of today’s workforce, Stevie-winner Confirm is reshaping the landscape of employee evaluations by identifying the real drivers of impact and pinpointing areas for improvement in a data-driven and efficient way. Confirm, a cutting-edge platform designed for the modern world of remote and network-based work, is transforming how companies evaluate employee performance. As the first platform to harness Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) in performance reviews, Confirm offers a groundbreaking way for organizations to measure performance not just through traditional means, but by examining the intricate networks within a company. According to Confirm’s analysis, only 15% of employees contribute to 50% of an organization's overall impact, while 5% create 50% of the problems. By identifying this uneven distribution of performance, the platform enables companies to save substantial costs and make informed decisions about employee management, bypassing the outdated notion of a bell curve. Confirm’s platform works by asking employees four simple questions about their colleagues, such as who they turn to for advice and who they believe is underperforming. Using this network data, Confirm analyzes trends and correlations, providing leaders with crucial insights into which employees are high performers and which may need additional support. Confirm won a Silver #StevieAward for Best Human Capital Management or Talent Management Solution in The 2024 American Business Awards?. ?? Read the full blog ? https://hubs.ly/Q02Y3Nws0

Founded by Audrey Bevan, Stevie-winner Accent HR emerged from a keen observation of the limitations within conventional HR practices, which often reflect an Anglo-Saxon cultural bias. Recognizing that standardized HR approaches frequently do not resonate with diverse worldviews, Bevan set out to create a solution that embraces cultural differences rather than sidelining them. At the core of Accent HR’s philosophy is the understanding that effective communication must be culturally sensitive. The organization has shifted corporate communication strategies to align with the cultural norms of the communities it serves. Since its launch in 2022, Accent HR has positively impacted over 40,000 workers across the Asia Pacific region. By helping clients turn multiculturalism into a strength, Accent HR aims to enhance engagement, lower attrition rates, and reduce workplace conflicts. Accent HR won a Bronze #StevieAward for Excellence in Innovation in Business Product & Service Industries - Up to 20 Employees in the 2024 Asia-Pacific Stevie ? Awards. ??
