Sloan Awards

When Work Works is a national project to highlight the importance of workplace effectiveness and workplace flexibility as strategies to enhance businesses’ competitive advantage in the global economy and yield positive business results. 
 
As part of the When Work Works initiative, the Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Excellence in Workplace Flexibility recognize exemplary employers that are using flexibility as a tool to enhance business, employee, and community success. Winners are selected based on a composite of employer and employee responses. There is no limit to the number of Award recipients within a given community. Winners receive local and national recognition, including tribute in a local awards ceremony and a full-page ad in USA Today.
