About the Sloan Awards

The Sloan Awards are part of When Work Works, a research-based initiative to highlight how effective and flexible workplaces can yield positive business results and help employees succeed at work and at home.

It is a site-based award. For employers with more than one location, it is the local worksite that applies for the award.

Separate applications may be submitted if multiple worksites wish to be considered.  

Eligibility

Employers of all sizes, in the public and private sectors, for-profit and not-for-profit are eligible for the Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility provided they meet the following criteria:

• A minimum of ten employees must currently work from or report to the eligible worksite. This does not include contract workers or consultants who are not reported to the IRS, but does include employees who travel frequently or work from home as long as they report back to the eligible worksite.
   
• The organization must have been in operation for at least one year.

  You can register your organization at 

www.whenworkworks.org.

 Again, registration is easy - and free! The benefits of registering are numerous: winners get national recognition, a local award ceremony and luncheon, and we all benefit from a closer business community that values workplace flexibility.

One benefit of winning this national award includes the Sloan Award Benchmarking Report.
