OutSolve CEO Jeremy Mancheski Named 2026 Inspiring Leader

Jeremy Mancheski, Founder and CEO of OutSolve, has been recognized as a 2026 Inspiring Leaders Award winner from Inspiring Workplaces. The recognition honors leaders around the world who positively impact their organization's culture, and Jeremy earned it through steady communication, transparency, and a people-first approach that guided OutSolve through 28 years of growth and change. Winners are selected in part on testimonials from their own employees, and judged on their ability to inspire belief, build trust, and empower people.

For HR professionals who understand how much a company's culture depends on leadership, Jeremy's recognition offers a clear case study in what inspiring leadership actually looks like in practice.

Jeremy embodies an inspiring leader through his courage, open communication, and ability to unleash the potential of the people around him. For more than 25 years, he has guided OutSolve through unpredictability and rapid change, and his approach has stayed consistent: keep people informed, stay steady when the path is unclear, and reinforce the purpose that holds the team together. When disruption arrives, he communicates directly and often, telling employees where the company stands, and reminds them why their work matters. That clarity lets employees stay focused on serving clients with confidence, even when the environment around them is shifting.

His leadership is equally grounded in listening. Jeremy invites input from employees, creates ways for them to raise concerns candidly, and answers questions openly. He welcomes employees' ideas, and that feedback helps to shape how the company adapts and the solutions it brings to clients. Technology is part of that philosophy: he believes new tools should strengthen human judgment, not replace it. The trust he has built shows in long employee tenures and in OutSolve’s recognition as a Top Workplace for eight consecutive years, an honor based entirely on anonymous employee feedback. As Sr. VP of Operations Vickie LeNormand said, Jeremy “pairs visionary leadership with a genuinely people-first approach, building a culture where teams feel valued and empowered to deliver exceptional client service.”

What this recognition means for HR leaders everywhere

Jeremy Mancheski's recognition as an Inspiring Leader reflects what happens when a CEO treats communication, trust, and employee input as strategic priorities rather than afterthoughts. For HR managers navigating their own compliance pressures, turnover concerns, and engagement goals, his approach offers a practical blueprint: communicate early and often, especially during times of change; build genuine connections across every office and level; and give employees a real stake in shaping where the organization goes next.

Compliance challenges aren't going away, but neither is the need for leaders who can guide their teams through them with clarity and confidence. Jeremy Mancheski's leadership at OutSolve shows what that looks like in practice.

What is the Inspiring Leaders Award?

The Inspiring Leaders Award, presented by Inspiring Workplaces, recognizes CEOs and senior leaders worldwide who positively impact their organizations and the people within them. The award complements the broader Inspiring Workplaces Awards, which focus on organizational culture as a whole, by shining a light on individual leadership.

Matt Manners, CEO and Founder of The Inspiring Workplaces Group, said: “Great leadership isn’t defined by a job title. It’s about creating an environment where people connect, feel valued and are empowered to reach their full potential. Our 2026 Inspiring Leaders demonstrate the extraordinary impact one individual can have on the people around them. Their leadership doesn’t just make organisations better, it makes people’s lives better. Congratulations to all our 2026 Inspiring Leaders. Thank you for showing what is possible when leadership puts people first.”

Entrants are judged within two categories: CEO (including Managing Director, Owner, and President roles) and Senior Leadership (covering C-Suite, VP, and Head of Department roles). Winners gain global recognition, validation for their culture and leadership development efforts, and access to marketing materials and storytelling opportunities through the Inspiring Workplaces community.
