The award was presented at the Staffing Industry Analysts’ Executive Forum on February 28, 2013.
“Michael Miles has been a leader in pioneering unique and innovative approaches to deliver staffing services”, said Barry Asin, President of Staffing Industry Analysts, when announcing Miles as the 2013 award winner. “At Staff Management he was among the first to operate without branch offices, using a centralized operating center, proprietary software and client embedded management teams. For his continued leadership in innovation and his role in the development of VOP (Vendor on Premise) and MSP (Managed Service Provider) operating models since 1988, we are honored to recognize Michael as the recipient of the award.”
Miles was selected out of hundreds of highly-qualified nominees by a committee of analysts. Now in its fifth year, the award recognizes one individual across the $134 billion U.S. staffing industry for their contributions to the space. The Peter Yessne Staffing Innovator Award was created to honor Founder and former Chairman of Staffing Industry Analysts, Peter Yessne, and is an annual award for an individual who contributed a significant innovation that has had a positive impact on the staffing industry and has stood the test of time.
“We are gratified by this recognition and remain focused on helping our clients transform how they manage human capital in order to minimize risk, increase flexibility and spur business growth,” said Michael Miles. “Innovation at Seaton starts with understanding what our clients are trying to achieve and working our way backwards to the solution as opposed to starting with the solution in mind.”
