Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA), an agency of LARA, was awarded the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility for the sixth year in a row.
MIOSHA was one of 23 winners in Michigan, and the only government agency, recognized at an awards ceremony sponsored by the Michigan Council of the Society for Human Resource Management (MISHRM) during the MISHRM 2013 State Conference at the Devos Hall in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
This prestigious award honors organizations of all sizes and all types in Michigan and across the country that are using workplace flexibility as a strategy to increase workplace effectiveness and yield positive business results.
“We are very pleased that MIOSHA is again being recognized for their outstanding workplace practices,” said LARA Deputy Director Stephanie Comai. “MIOSHA provides an excellent example of how a public agency can create effective work practices to meet the needs of employees while providing the best service possible to their customers.”
Applicants were evaluated in a rigorous two-step process, first comparing the employer’s application to nationally representative data from Families and Work Institute’s National Study of Employers, and then corroborating the employer responses through a survey of employees.
Each of the 2013 Sloan Award winners will be recognized nationally and will be featured in next year’s edition of the Guide to Bold New Ideas for Making Work Work, co-published by Families and Work Institute and The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
