The When Work Works awards (formerly known as the Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Excellence in Workplace Effectiveness and Flexibility) are unique for their rigorous, two-step selection process, which involves an evaluation of employers’ flexibility programs and practices, and a confidential employee survey of the key ingredients of an effective and flexible workplace. All applicants are measured against national norms for the 2014 National Study of Employers.

When Work Works awards is a research-based nationwide initiative to bring research on workplace effectiveness and flexibility into community and business practice. When Work Works partners with communities and states around the country to:

·         • Share rigorous research and employer best practices on workplace effectiveness and flexibility;

·         • Recognize exemplary employers through the Sloan Awards based on surveys of employers and employees; and

·         • Inspire positive change so that increasing numbers of employers understand how effective and flexible workplaces can benefit both business and employees, and use this information to make work “work.”
