ciber wins alFred p. sloan award for business excellence in workplace flexibility
TAMPA, Fla. – Nov. 5, 2007 – CIBER, Inc.’s Tampa Global Solution Center was named a winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility last week, distinguishing CIBER as one of the top practitioners of workplace flexibility in the nation. The award was presented at the 2007 Annual Workforce Conference at Stetson University College of Law in DeLand, Fla.
The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility are part of the “When Work Works” project, an on-going initiative of Families and Work Institute (FWI), the Institute for a Competitive Workforce (ICW), an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Twiga Foundation to recognize businesses that are dedicated to making work “work” for the employer and employees. Through “When Work Works,” these organizations provide research, resources, and recognition to businesses nationwide, and share the results of that research on creating effective and flexible workplaces that meet the needs of the 21st century.
CIBER provides information technology consulting services to business and government clients worldwide. It operates 85 offices worldwide, with 60 offices in the U.S., including three in Florida: Tampa, Orlando, and Tallahassee.
“Obtaining and retaining technology professionals with the skills we need is a challenge because those skills are in such high demand,” said Joe Mancuso, Senior Vice President of CIBER’s Commercial Operations. “Our objective is to be flexible, so we work with employees to accommodate their needs as they arise. We have found that flexibility is a very important benefit for employees, as we all lead very busy lives.”
Representing a diverse range of employer sizes and industries, winners of this prestigious award offer excellent workplace flexibility policies and practices, and use flexibility as a strategic business tool to benefit business and employees. Each of the winners will be recognized in a national advertisement, just as 2005 and 2006 winners were recognized in USA Today earlier this year.
“Two of the biggest issues for employers in today’s economy are recruitment of top talent and retention of valued employees,” said Greg Roth, senior manager of programs for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for a Competitive Workforce. “The business community sees workplace flexibility as a vital piece in a broader plan to develop the strongest possible workforce. As a strategy to stay competitive, workplace flexibility can be a sound business decision for employers no matter the size or industry sector.”
“This award is one of the most rigorous in the country,” said Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute. “When comparing the winners to national data, they score in the top 20 percent of all employers in the U.S. – which is phenomenal,” she said. “To have employers’ data corroborated by their employees is what is most exciting. These businesses understand that workplace effectiveness and flexibility are part of being an employer of choice today. They are truly models for other companies.”
