Applications are now open for the 2006 Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility! This prestigious award recognizes employers in 17 select communities nationwide that are successfully using flexibility to meet both business and employee goals. To apply for more than one worksite location, a separate application must be completed for each location. If you have already registered and would like to return to the survey, click here. If you have forgotten your password, click here. Top of the page The application process will take place in two rounds: Round I: Employer Survey Employers nominate themselves by completing an online application survey about their workplace flexibility programs, policies and culture. The survey will take 20-30 minutes to complete. Round II: Employee Survey For qualifying employers from Round I, a sample of employees will be asked to complete a survey about their access to workplace flexibility programs and about the culture. The survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete. Eligible applicants will be considered based on their ability to demonstrate that workplace flexibility is being used successfully to meet both business and employee objectives. Winners will be announced in spring 2006 in an award presentation ceremony at a local event, and will have the opportunity for local and national recognition.
