WorkSmart Named as Finalist for Workplace Flexibility Award

DURHAM, N.C., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- WorkSmart, an industry leading provider of Information Technology management and support in the Mid-Atlantic region, announced today that the company is a finalist for the 2010 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility.  This prestigious award recognizes employers across the country that are successfully using flexibility to meet both business and employee goals.  

Winning the award in 2009 and once again being named a finalist in 2010 proves that WorkSmart is the leader of workplace flexibility in its industry.  WorkSmart's commitment to its team members is especially remarkable in the wake of many companies slashing benefits and flexibility for their employees.  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. Employees of the selected finalists are surveyed to assess their perception of the organization's commitment to work-life balance. Durham is one of 30 metro areas nationwide chosen to host and participate in the When Work Works initiative.

"What is unique about the Sloan Awards is the rigor of the process. In order to be recognized as a Sloan Award finalist, WorkSmart was measured against nationally representative data on workplace flexibility from Families and Work Institute and had to rank in the top 20% of employers nationally," noted Kathy Hoffmeier, Director of Talent and Workforce Development at the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce. "Truly, WorkSmart's flexible work practices and programs represent the best in the nation."

"We are very proud of our fun and productive work environment," said WorkSmart CEO Ron Unger.  "To stay on top in our industry, the WorkSmart team must have the best quality of work life and the flexibility to deal with real life, personal and family situations."
