Fortune Title of Roseland was honored with the 2013 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Effectiveness and Flexibility for its use of flexibility and other aspects of workplace effectiveness as a workplace strategy to increase business and employee success.
This prestigious award is part of the national When Work Works project administered by the Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management. The Sloan awards are unique for the rigorous, two-step selection process, which involves an evaluation of employers’ flexibility programs and practices, and a confidential employee survey on the key ingredients of an effective and flexible workplace. All applicants are measured against national norms from the National Study of Employers.
“As a recipient of the 2013 Sloan Award, Fortune Title Agency ranks among the top 20 percent of employers nationally in terms of its programs, policies and culture for creating an effective and flexible workplace,” said Ellen Galinsky, FWI president. “In addition, what makes this honor so special is that their employees have corroborated this, affirming that it is indeed an effective and flexible workplace.”
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our workplace practices,” said Nicole Plath, vice president of Fortune Title Agency. “Creating an effective and flexible workplace has always been a goal of ours.”
Workplace flexibility, such as flextime, part-time work and compressed workweeks, has been demonstrated to help businesses remain competitive while also benefitting employees. Flexibility in combination with other aspects of an effective workplace, such as learning opportunities and supervisor support for job success, can have a powerful impact on employee engagement and motivation.
