This is Marty Carpenter of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Utah Business Report.
We live in an ever-changing world and the concept of the traditional 9-to-5 workday is changing, as well.
Studies show flexible workplaces have a higher rate of employee loyalty thanks to a better work/life balance. Many businesses see workplace flexibility as an essential piece of creating a productive environment, proving that it's good for business and good for employee morale.
And that's where the Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Effectiveness and Flexibility comes in. The Alfred P. Sloan award is a national award for businesses that exemplify the best flexibility practices.
In partnership with the Utah Department of Workforce Services, the Salt Lake Chamber Women's Business Center will present the national Sloan Awards in Utah for 2013--and now is the time to apply. The applications are due Friday, May 10.
The application process is a simple, two-step process with an Employer Application followed by an employee survey if a business is selected to move onto the next round. You can find more information at slchamber.com. That's slchamber.com.
