About
the Founder
In this millennium, Janice Bryant Howroyd knows the business
world must be more innovative and more exciting! At the same time, it is more
crowded, more competitive and more perilous. She thrives on maintaining an edge,
expanding into new markets and offering valued clients new services as part of
a precision business plan.
Today, the ACT•1 Group thrives through
several verticals that add value to each other to support an overall business
plan. Driven by Bryant Howroyd's personal mantra, "Keep the humanity in human
resources," a team of diverse, entrepreneurial professionals manages one
of America's most highly respected and experienced staffs in the industry.
Janice Bryant Howroyd's personality, perseverance and drive, coupled with
- as she points out - her "extraordinary team" is what ensures ACT•1's
continuous growth in a global market.
Motivated by the supportive environments
of her own youth, Janice Bryant Howroyd believes that people perform best when
their personal strengths are developed and challenged. Her theory is proven true
by the 25+ years she has driven a highly successful business. "It is a core
value of how I do business today," says the CEO. "It has never been
just about making a match to make some money."
"Empowering people
is a blessing and a responsibility."
Staying true to these beliefs
supports ACT•1, Janice Bryant Howroyd and the communities they service. She
and the company contribute well to education, entrepreneurship and economic development.
She says, "Growing a global business is all about doing something good for
the world."
