Madison, WI (December 27, 2017) TASC’s President Cliff Mason has been named a 2018 Executive of the Year award recipient by In Business magazine. Now in its fifth year, the awards program celebrates exemplary business executives based on leadership, innovation, and company success.
Cliff Mason initiated a period of rapid growth and innovation at TASC that has dramatically enhanced the company’s ability to serve customers and a growing number of prospects. For the first time ever, TASC’s revenue passed the $100 million mark, and under Cliff’s guidance, there is no doubt that trajectory will continue, well into the future.
Under Cliff’s watch, TASC developed and implemented new, online charity enrollment and donation systems for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), the workplace giving program for federal employees and retirees. These systems, which were 2017 Wisconsin Innovation Award finalists, modernize a 60-year-old, paper-based program, and will reduce administrative costs by roughly 20 percent. This in turn will increase the amount of each donation that actually makes it to the charity.
Cliff has also been at the forefront of launching a new platform that will streamline the way the company’s business is processed. The new structure will allow TASC the freedom to be flexible and agile, while still remaining stable and secure. It also allows TASC to reduce dependency on third party services and to serve customers on a single administrative platform. Because this requires employees to adopt a new way of working and thinking across all departments, Cliff is leading change management efforts to ensure a smooth transition. Frequent videos (Cliff Chats) and emails keep the staff energized and motivated. He also tracks and mentions milestones as they occur to recognize and further encourage TASC’s employees.
“Cliff’s enthusiasm for doing the right thing has not only had an obvious impact on our company, it has also help create a genuine spirit of teamwork and dedication among TASC’s employees,” says Dan Rashke, TASC CEO. “Being recognized as an Executive of the Year by In Business is further proof of the impact Cliff as had on TASC, its staff, and the entire benefits industry.”
Cliff will be featured in the February 2018 edition of the In Business magazine.
