Humanix Staffing and Recruiting
Humanix Staffing and Recruiting has been named a winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Award for a second year. This Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility distinguishes companies as leading practitioners of workplace flexibility in the Spokane region and across the nation.
The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility recognize exemplary employers across the U.S. for their innovative workplace effectiveness and flexibility initiatives.
Humanix President, Nancy Nelson, says "Employees can't always leave their family situations at the door when they arrive in the morning. An important part of leadership is having a strong connection with your employees and knowing when they are thriving in their jobs and when they might be struggling. We continually focus on our work culture at Humanix to provide a supportive, engaging, and fun work environment.
"The rigorous application process for The Alfred P Sloan Award for both 2008 and 2009 helped us identify the many small things we do to keep our work environment a great place, promote employee growth, and have an open dialogue with employees to see what we can do better. Flexibility is an important part of keeping your top talented employees. Each company can embrace what works best for them and their employees.
"The Families and Work Institute's website, www.whenworkworks.org,is full of resources, such as When Work Works Flexibility Toolkit, Flex Tips for Employees, Supervisors and Companies, and lots of ideas from other Alfred P. Sloan winners across the nation.
"Here are some of the business results of flexibility:
- Improving Recruitment, Retention, and Reducing Turnover
- Enhancing Employee Engagement and Satisfaction
- Reducing Absenteeism
- Providing Exceptional Client Service
- Reducing Business Costs
- Enhancing Productivity and Profitability
- Aligning Staff Coverage to Meet Business Needs
