Chicago, IL, October 19, 2015—The Advanced Group, a Chicagoland diversified professional staffing, consulting, and outsourcing organization, was conferred a 2015 American Staffing Association Care Award honorable mention distinction. This national awards program recognizes outstanding corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives—business processes that produce an overall positive effect on society—among ASA member staffing firms, associate members (industry suppliers), and affiliated chapters.
The Advanced Group was honored for the partnership developed with Cristo Rey Network. Through rigorous academics, coupled with real world work experience, Cristo Rey students graduate high school prepared for success in college and in life. The Advanced Group has partnered with three Cristo Rey schools and currently has 12 interns from the program working at Advanced Group locations.
“We are proud of our partnership with Cristo Rey,” said Leo Sheridan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Advanced Group. “As far as a business practice goes, it’s a win-win-win model. There are not many Triple Wins in business, but this is one of them. There are the obvious benefits for students who work alongside professionals, developing skills to someday go out in the workforce and the changes it can truly make in their families when the first generation goes to college. But for businesses, the cost benefits of hiring talented young people who are extremely affordable, brings a great value to the dollars spent. The side-effect is the “enormous impact” the program makes for the future of communities.”
The ASA Care Awards honor CSR initiatives that involve employee training and professional development, community engagement, “green” business practices, philanthropy, and more. A panel of CSR experts selects the honorees.
All ASA Care Awards honorees will be celebrated at Staffing World® 2015, the ASA convention and expo, Oct. 27-29 in Nashville, TN.
Interviews with Advanced Group executives are available to members of the news media.
