Houston Architects Receive Award for Excellence in Workplace, Hall Barnum Lucchesi Architects Awarded
Alfred P. Sloan Award
HBL Architects is pleased to announce they have been awarded the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility for the second consecutive year.
The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility recognize organizations that are striving to find new ways to make work “work” in today’s difficult economy.
“From new forms of flexible work arrangements that minimize lay-offs, to creative cost-cutting that retains core medical benefits, to providing financial information and support to employees, these employers are braving the economic storm through innovative policies that prevent undue shock to their workplaces and their employees,” said Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute.
These prestigious national awards honor organizations of all sizes and all types in Houston and across the country that are using workplace flexibility as a strategy to increase workplace effectiveness and yield positive business results. The City of Houston’s Flexible Workplace Initiative Program will present awards at an event on September 17, 2009 at the Wortham Theater Center.
