For this achievement, Helios HR has named iCore as a Finalist for their 2011 Apollo Awards.
“This award recognition highlights our HR and Organizational Development team for creating programs that not only benefit the iCore organization as a whole, but the individual and ensuring that we are nurturing and developing our employees to the best of their abilities,” said Chairman and CEO Stephen Canton. “As we continue to grow, launch new product lines, new sales offices, we believe the programs and the development of our employees is critical and is at the core of whether or not we are successful.”

In its fifth year, the award program looks for organizations that have strong employee onboarding processes; opportunities for mentoring; innovative programs and opportunities to develop leadership skills through charitable community involvement.
Building iCore into the premier provider of VoPI voice and data services for businesses, and providing opportunities for employees to give back to the community in many ways, continues this week as a team of iCore employees participate in Melwood’s 2011 PGA Tour/Prince George’s County Open.
