SWIHA was given this award based upon our employee feedback on our best practices in supporting our employees. These practices have proven to keep employees happy, they have less sick time and companies have less attrition or employee turnover. We also offer scholarship opportunities for staff personal development. SWIHA provides an opportunity for its staff to thrive and be productive.” About Sloan Awards and When Work Works The Sloan Awards are unique for their rigorous, two-step selection process, which involves an evaluation of employers’ flexibility programs and practices, and a confidential employee survey. Terri Kimble, President and CEO of Chandler Chamber of Commerce says: “We highly commend these companies for their use of flexibility as an effective workplace strategy to increase their business success and benefit their employees. Not only are they excellent examples for other businesses wanting to remain competitive in today’s rapidly changing marketplace, but they are also leading the way in making Arizona a great place to live and work.” The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Of Excellence in Workplace Flexibility are part of When Work Works, a national project to educate the business community on the value of workplace effectiveness and flexibility. It is an ongoing initiative of Families and Work Institute (FWI) first funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. For more info on the When Work Works project and the Alfred P.
