Leading California-Based Workforce Optimization Firm Scores 1st Best in Biz Award
PLEASANT HILL, Calif., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EquitiFy has been named a Silver winner in the category of Entrepreneur / Founder of the Year in Best in Biz Awards 2024, the only independent business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America.
Under CEO and Founder Dr. Vic Baker's visionary leadership, EquitiFy expanded its professional development services this year, partnering with the University of San Francisco. This collaboration supports the Rise for Racial Justice year-long program, providing leadership training and research opportunities to San Francisco's citizens. This partnership not only underscores EquitiFy's commitment to social justice and community engagement but also enhances their educational outreach and influence.
This year's judges were particularly impressed with the winning companies' continued innovation and vast employment of such cutting-edge technologies as AI, their comprehensive approach to workplace benefits and employee wellbeing programs, as well as continued community involvement and growing commitments to environmental and corporate social responsibility causes. A notable absence of winning entries in the Fastest-Growing Company of the Year categories this year pointed to the difficult economic landscape this year's entrants are operating in, which makes the winners' achievements all the more noteworthy.
"We at EquitiFy are proud to be recognized for the prestigious Best in Biz Awards because they are bestowed by reporters covering the business world in many different industries. We are gratified at this recognition for our industry-leading leadership development programs," said Dr. Baker.
Since the program's inception in 2011, winners in Best in Biz Awards have been determined by independent judging panels assembled each year from some of the most respected national and local newspapers, TV and radio outlets, and business, consumer, technology and trade publications in North America.
Thanks to the unparalleled expertise and experience of the editors and reporters serving as judges and the vast diversity of outlets they represent, Best in Biz Awards judging panels are best suited to objectively determine the top companies from among the hundreds of competitive entries. The 2024 judging panel included, among others, writers and contributors to Barron's, Chemical & Engineering News, Computerworld, Healthcare Innovation News, Los Angeles Times, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Travel Weekly and Wired.
"Each year, our judges face the challenge of determining winners among equally compelling entries with varying strengths, poring over details and analyzing minute differences to find out who has had the edge," said Best in Biz Awards staff. "Yet, as in years past, what sets our winning companies apart, is not just their growth numbers, patents, or outside validation of their strength. A true sign of a Best in Biz Awards winner is the positive impact they have in the world – the benefits they bring start with their employees, impact their clients, and fill the local and global communities they operate in."
Best in Biz Awards 2024 honors were conferred in 100 different categories, including Company of the Year, Fastest-Growing Company, Most Innovative Company, Best Place to Work, Customer Service Department, Executive of the Year, Marketing Executive, Most Innovative Service, Enterprise Product, Best New Product, App, CSR Program, Environmental Program, Website and Film/Video of the Year.
