Gimmal announces they are a recipient of the national Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility.  The award recognizes businesses and organizations of all sizes that provide employees with the most flexible and effective work practices and policies in the nation.  Employees in selected organizations confirm the flexibility practices and provide feedback to the Families and Work Institute.  

The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility are part of the “When Work Works” project, an ongoing initiative of Families and Work Institute, the Institute for a Competitive Workforce (an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce), and the Twiga Foundation. Through “When Work Works”, these partner organizations provide research, resources, and recognition to employers nationwide.  The project shares the results of research on creating effective and flexible workplaces that meet the needs of the 21st century.

Each of the 2009 Sloan Award winners will also be recognized nationally and be featured in next year’s edition of the Guide to Bold New Ideas for Making Work Work, published by Families and Work Institute.
