Chicago-based Help at Home has a 50-year history of providing care for vulnerable populations, enabling clients to age in place at home with independence and dignity. The company has grown into a leading national provider of high-quality, relationship-based home care services for Medicaid-eligible seniors and people living with disabilities, now in 11 states.

In 2022, a new leadership team of healthcare executives with the vision to transform in-home personal care services set out to connect the healthcare ecosystem through innovation. In pursuit of this, Help at Home launched the Care Coordination program, which is built from a unique vantage point on caregiver-client relationships. Caregivers are in the home more than 20 hours per week on average, enabling ongoing client observations. The program capitalized on these relationships, implementing a tech-savvy data analytics program, AI, and a clinical team and creating a first-of-its-kind Care Coordination program connecting home care to health care.

Caregiver observations provide insights into serious health conditions or events like household fall hazards through digitized survey tools. Through AI predictive analytics, a clinical support team is alerted, and interventions are triggered that mitigate adverse events, keeping clients out of the hospital or nursing home.

In 2023, Care Coordination from the Help at Home program brought on nearly 2,000 clients and has demonstrated the ability to engage clients at scale, reduce the cost of care, improve care quality, increase caregiver and client satisfaction, and address health-related social needs that improve health equity.

Through partnerships with Medicaid state agencies and health plans, they have seen reductions in the cost of care, optimized health benefits, and positive impacts from social services partnerships, like better access to community housing and food assistance, etc. The program’s first year captured more than a million caregiver observations that sparked analysis leading to 1,300 proactive interventions to connect clients to their healthcare network, social services organizations, or community resources.

For Medicaid and dual-eligible individuals, about 80% of the impact on their health outcomes and cost of care comes from non-medical barriers such as social determinants of health and lifestyle. Help at Home designed the Care Coordination program with a health-equity forward approach to address these health disparities. The company employs community health workers who are in the communities and work with the team that includes the caregiver and other clinicians to intervene, make connections that address health-related social needs, and influence quality of life and health outcomes. In this manner, Help at Home is improving the quality of care provided to a largely underserved Medicaid population. This creates value for provider partners and payers seeking value-based care arrangements, and, over time, will drive down national healthcare spending.

As this skilled team of healthcare-savvy leaders continues to drive growth, resulting in increased scale, density, and operational efficiency, Help at Home is ready to meet the growing demand for home and community-based care for seniors and people living with disabilities utilizing Medicaid or dually eligible supports.

Help At Home won a Gold and two Silver Stevie Awards for Achievement in Product Innovation, Achievement in Growth Status, and Healthcare Communications or PR Campaign of the Year, respectively, in The 2024 American Business Awards^®.

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.

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. The platform’s insights help companies prevent costly turnover by retaining top talent and swiftly addressing underperformance.

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.

Since April 2022, Confirm has made several notable updates to its platform:

Auto-Calibration Feature. The platform now includes an auto-calibration feature that has significantly streamlined the lengthy process of comparing and reconciling employee ratings. What once took months now takes only days, thanks to advanced checks on each manager’s ratings. The system pinpoints the employees who should be the focus of calibration discussions, helping businesses reduce time spent on manual adjustments while increasing the accuracy of performance evaluations.

Performance OKRs and Career Goals. With this new addition, companies can benchmark employee development over time, monitor progress, and gain real-time visibility into goal achievement. By utilizing data-driven insights, the OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) feature simplifies progress tracking, empowering organizations to focus on long-term growth for both the company and individual employees.

Employee Engagement Surveys. Employee engagement is a key indicator of company success, and Confirm now offers surveys to help businesses better understand their workforce’s needs. Leveraging GPT-4 technology, the platform surfaces valuable insights in minutes, highlighting potential issues and providing actionable takeaways. The feature also includes filters by team and department, allowing for a more granular understanding of employee sentiment across different areas of the organization.

ChatGPT-4 Integration. To make performance reviews more efficient without sacrificing quality, Confirm has integrated ChatGPT-4 into its platform. This tool assists managers in summarizing and writing feedback for employee reviews, allowing them to complete reviews quickly while maintaining thoughtful and thorough feedback for employees.

Performance Profile. A significant advancement in employee empowerment, the Performance Profile feature provides employees with a network-driven view of their own performance. This transparency allows workers to see how they compare to their peers and track their progress over time. Not only do leaders benefit from this feature, but employees can also take charge of their development by understanding their strengths and areas for growth.

Confirm’s approach to performance reviews offers a fresh, data-driven alternative to traditional methods, helping organizations better understand employee contributions and drive meaningful improvements. By continuously evolving its platform with new features, Confirm enables businesses to make smarter, more informed decisions that enhance both individual and organizational success in today’s dynamic work environment.

Confirm won a Silver Stevie Award for Best Human Capital Management or Talent Management Solution in The 2024 American Business Awards^®.

Launched just a week before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the country into lockdown, Stevie-winner Bluegrass Bottling started with only two employees and a single client. Despite the rough timing, the company has grown steadily, now serving over 75 brands and employing 22 people. Their customer-first mentality has allowed them to concentrate on meeting the needs of small craft producers, helping them bring their products to market.

A Challenging Beginning
Opening its doors just days before the world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company faced immediate challenges. With the country in lockdown, their initial plan to bottle spirits was put on hold. However, holding a distilled spirits permit (DSP) provided an unexpected opportunity. As businesses were asked to pivot and help with public health efforts, the bottler was instructed to begin producing hand sanitizer.

Without hesitation, they shifted gears and began producing sanitizer at an unprecedented scale. Despite the crisis and rising costs of supplies, the company chose not to increase prices. Their ability to quickly adapt—finding suppliers, shippers, and additional staff with minimal contacts—was a testament to their flexibility and resourcefulness. As a result, they successfully navigated the pandemic's uncertainties and even managed to establish crucial relationships with bottle suppliers, label printers, and box makers—partners they still work with today.

A Return to Spirits
As the country began reopening and the demand for hand sanitizer waned, the company was quick to return to its original focus: bottling bourbon whiskey. They quickly expanded their services beyond bourbon, adding vodka, gin, rum, liqueurs, and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages to their portfolio. With no minimum case requirements, the company offers even the smallest craft distillers a chance to bottle their products and bring their unique spirits to market.

Their services now include bottling a wide range of spirits and packaging sizes, from 50ml to 1.75L. In addition to their DSP, they also hold a wine permit, allowing them to offer bottling services in the wine industry. This diversity has helped them build a strong reputation in a competitive field while maintaining a commitment to their original mission—focusing entirely on their clients' success.

By eliminating minimum requirements, they give even the smallest distillers a chance to shine, helping their clients create standout products with exceptional packaging and great taste.

A Woman-Owned Business in a Male-Dominated Industry
As one of the few women-owned businesses in the spirits industry, this bottler stands out not just for their service, but for the leadership and vision of their founder. With deep respect for the bourbon industry and a desire to contribute to its growth, the founder has created a company culture focused on teamwork, research, and development. Every employee is encouraged to contribute ideas, fostering a sense of innovation and agility that has been key to their success.

From its early days producing hand sanitizer to becoming a major player in the spirits bottling industry, this company’s journey is one of resilience, growth, and a commitment to supporting the craft spirits community. With further expansions on the horizon and plans to boost local tourism, its story is far from over.

Bluegrass Bottling won a Bronze Stevie Award for Fastest Growing Company of the Year - Up to 100 Employees in The 2024 American Business Awards^®.

As the co-founder and CEO of PissedConsumer.com, a leading review and reputation management platform, Michael Podolsky has dedicated his career to improving communication between consumers and businesses. With over 20 years of experience on Wall Street and a robust background in brand reputation, customer service, and IT consulting, he has cultivated a wealth of knowledge that informs his leadership approach.

The inception of PissedConsumer.com can be traced back to 2006, driven by Michael’s own experience as a frustrated consumer. After facing an unresolved issue that left him feeling unheard, he realized there was a critical need for a platform where consumers could voice their concerns and attract the attention of businesses. With only $200 to invest, Michael and his business partner launched the website from a humble kitchen in New York. What began as a simple idea has blossomed into a thriving community that empowers consumers to share their experiences and seek resolutions with brands.

Today, PissedConsumer.com boasts a dedicated team of nearly 100 employees who share Michael’s vision of fostering communication between consumers and companies.

Rather than retreating, he leveraged these challenges to advocate for consumer rights, even alerting government agencies to issues regarding consumer feedback. His efforts contributed to regulatory changes that underscore the importance of transparency and accountability in business practices.

Michael's approach to leadership emphasizes collaboration and innovation. He believes that the best ideas come from a culture where every team member feels empowered to contribute. “A leader should not just drive the team but lead it,” he asserts, advocating for an agile workplace where individuals can make decisions autonomously. This philosophy has helped PissedConsumer.com maintain its status as a leader in consumer advocacy, despite its initially negative connotation.

In addition to running PissedConsumer.com, Michael actively engages with the business community. He has spoken at various conferences and events, sharing practical insights on improving online reputation, customer service, and brand awareness. His contributions as an influencer on platforms like Forbes Business Council and INC further amplify his commitment to educating businesses about the value of customer feedback.

Michael Podolsky’s journey exemplifies the power of entrepreneurship grounded in a genuine desire to make a difference. Through PissedConsumer.com, he continues to bridge the gap between consumers and businesses, advocating for a more transparent and communicative marketplace.
