This prestigious award recognizes employers that are successfully using flexibility as part of an effective workplace strategy to achieve business goals and benefit employees by helping them meet their responsibilities on and off the job. As host, the NAMC encouraged Long Island employers to apply for the award to gain recognition and promote Long Island businesses. The NAMC does not select the winners.

Employers of all types in the Long Island Region are invited to apply for the Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. Companies have the opportunity to get local and national visibility for your efforts to use flexibility as a strategy to enhance productivity, recruitment and retention in a global, four-generation workforce.

The  Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility are part of When Work Works, a national project on workplace effectiveness and workplace flexibility from Families and Work Institute. Sloan Award APPLICANTS are self-nominated employers that complete the employer survey. Employer application deadline was April 22, 2011.  Long Island Winners will be presented with their award at the 16th Annual NAMC Work/Life Conference on Friday, November 4th, 2011 at the Crest Hollow in Woodbury, NY.  Sloan Award winners also receive:

• National recognition, including mention in a full-page ad in USA Today.
• Official congratulations in the Congressional Record of the U.S. Senate.
• Company profile featured in a publication on Bold New Ideas for Making Work Work, by Families and Work Institute, to be distributed across the country, to a targeted media list, and made available on-line.
• The NAMC will feature local winners in their publications, outreach to members and the media, and on their website.
• Permission to use the Sloan Award Winner logo on company materials and to cite the award as a recruitment and retention tool.

All organizations with 10 or more employees in the Long Island region are eligible to apply.  The 2011 application process kicks off in February. By simply applying for the Sloan Awards, companies will:

• Receive customized benchmarking reports comparing their organization with nationally representative data, local organizations, and Sloan Award Winners—a blueprint for action. The benchmarking reports include an item-by-item comparison of the employer responses to questions about the flexibility of their work environment, including support for part-time work, family and medical leave, accountability, and various flexible work arrangements.
• Have access to data to implement specific strategies to help recruit, develop, and retain talent, have more productive and satisfied employees, and positively affect the bottom line performance of your organization.
