NAMC hosts the 2010 Sloan Awards for
Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility on Long Island
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. Your company has the opportunity to get local and national visibility for your efforts to use flexibility as a strategy to enhance productivity, morale and your competitive edge in a global, four-generation workforce.
Sloan Award winners will 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.
- Local recognition, including tribute in an awards ceremony hosted by the NAMC at the 14th Annual Work/Life Conference to be held on November 5, 2010. 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. Applications are being accepted online at http://familiesandwork.org/3w/awards/2010index.html now. Deadline for application is April 15, 2010.
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.
