The Sloan Awards for
Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility

The Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility honors companies that have successfully used flexibility to meet both employer and employee goals. This is the first award of its kind to validate companies' performance, programs and policies with employee input, differentiating it from any other current award. A rigorous application and scoring process was developed to select honorees for the award.

The assessment used to determine the Sloan Award winners is based on the National Study of Employers (NSE) as administered by the Families and Work Institute (FWI). Sloan Award recipients are employers who offer flexibility programs, policies, and practices that are equal to or above the national average from this study and also have employee verification that these are carried out effectively in the organization.

The 2008 Sloan Award Winners for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility are:
