This past week, United Way of Salt Lake was recognized for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility and received the Alfred P. Sloan Award. When you work for a flexible organization, like I do, you sometimes take for granted the fact that not everyone has the same experience at work. I live a good 40 minutes from my office. The poor little tires on my car get a workout. Thankfully, because UWSL is a flexible workplace, I can work a 9-80 schedule that allows me to work 9 hours every day and have every other Friday off. Hello skiing! Also on those snowy days where 40 miles to work would take hours I can telecommute from home. My co-workers with children find that flexible hours help them maintain their family priorities and still accomplish their work in the office.
UWSL might have won the Sloan Award, but every other Friday I feel like the winner!
