Chamber Recognizes Utah Employers for Workplace Flexibility

Thirteen local companies have received the national Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. They will be recognized for their use of flexibility as an effective workplace strategy to increase business and employee success. The prestigious Sloan award, presented locally by the Salt Lake Chamber Women’s Business Center, is a part of the national When Work Works project, which recognizes employers of all sizes and types in Utah and across the country.

The Sloan Awards are unique for their rigorous, two-step selection process, which involves an evaluation of employers’ flexibility programs and practices, as well as a confidential employee survey. All applicants are measured against national norms from the National Study of Employers.

The Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility is part of the When Work Works project,an ongoing initiative of When Work Works, which is a joint partnership between Families and Work Institute and The Society for Human Resource Management. These partner organizations provide research, resources and recognition to employers nationwide. The project shares the results of research on creating effective and flexible workplaces that meet the needs of the 21st century. To see a list of the winners: Utah Policy
