MARLBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwire - January 20, 2010) - Workscape, Inc., a leading provider of
integrated HR solutions and services, today announced the winner of the
first Workscape HR Innovator of the Year Award. LaVawn McCullough, director
of Human Resources Information Systems and Compensation at Swift
Transportation, has been named 2009 Innovator of the Year.
The award honors a Workscape client who has implemented innovative human
resource (HR) programs, practices or policies during the previous year. It
recognizes excellence in HR management, spotlighting creative and
innovative HR initiatives that contribute significantly to the achievement
of business goals and objectives.
"LaVawn's efforts have completely transformed the compensation and
performance management processes at Swift plus optimized the employee
benefits process. Her vision and demonstrated leadership in deploying an
employee-centric approach to HR are what made her our choice for Innovator
of the Year," commented Tony Marzulli, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at
Workscape.
McCullough is being recognized for identifying and implementing a
comprehensive suite of solutions that encompass performance management,
compensation planning and benefits administration. She recognized the
immediate impact that bridging compensation and performance would bring and
sought to find a partner that could easily meet the needs of Swift's
geographically diverse, largely mobile workforce of nearly 20,000
employees. After first implementing Workscape's compensation planning
solution, McCullough next integrated Performance Manager from Workscape's
talent management suite, easily shaping the look and feel to best serve
Swift's unique employee population. She was then instrumental in expanding
the deployment to include Workscape's outsourced benefits administration
solution with online benefits enrollment and a 24x7 onshore support center
for employees.
"LaVawn's award is well-earned. She has made an indelible impression of
innovation and success throughout Swift and contributed to our mission to
be the best in class transportation service provider," commented Rachel
Monti, vice president, Human Resources, Swift Transportation. "Because of
her collaboration with Workscape, our managers and employees are now
engaged in goal setting, measurement and performance evaluation in
meaningful ways we have never seen before."
