Care Award
Show That You Care
The ASA Care Award recognizes outstanding corporate social responsibility initiatives among ASA member companies and affiliated chapters. Corporate social responsibility initiatives can encompass policies, programs, or specific projects within companies and with external partners.
A panel of corporate social responsibility experts will select winners in five categories: one staffing firm with less than $15 million in annual sales, one staffing firm with $15 million–$100 million in annual sales, one staffing firm with more than $100 million in annual sales, one associate member (a company that provides products or services to the staffing industry), and one ASA-affiliated chapter.
Corporate social responsibility initiatives submitted for consideration could involve, but are not limited to, one or more of the following components:
- Employees (e.g., wages, benefits, training and professional development, diversity practices, health and safety procedures, and family-friendly policies)
- Clients (e.g., consumer and community engagement)
- Suppliers (e.g., labor practices, environmental impact, and diversity)
- Core business practices (e.g., products and services, legal compliance, and innovation)
- Finance (e.g., investments and savings)
- Environment (e.g., energy use, buildings, vehicles, construction practices, travel, and recycling)
- Governance (e.g., policies, standards, board diversity, stakeholder engagement, and reporting)
- Philanthropy (e.g., corporate community involvement, employee volunteer programs, contributions, or involvement with Preparing Tomorrow's Work Force, an ASA program that provides career alternatives to at-risk students)
