Service Express, Inc. Honored for Workplace Flexibility
October 27, 2011 - Grand Rapids, MI - Service Express, Inc. (SEI) has been honored with the 2011 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility for its use of flexibility as an effective workplace strategy to increase business and employee success. The award is received on behalf of SEI offices in Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland.
This prestigious award, part of the national When Work Works project, recognizes employers of all sizes and types across the country. SEI also received the award earlier this month for the third consecutive year for its Michigan locations.
“Our success can be traced back to our Vision Statement which is to “work with our employees to help them achieve their personal, professional and financial goals,” states SEI President Ron Alvesteffer. “ We believe if we surround ourselves with the right people - who share our purpose and values – and help them achieve their goals, our employees will excel and SEI will continue to grow.”
The Sloan Awards are unique for their rigorous, two-step selection process, which involves an evaluation of employers’ flexibility programs and practices, and a confidential employee survey. All applicants are measured against national norms from FWI’s National Study of Employers.
“As a recipient of the 2011 Sloan Award, SEI ranks in the top 20% of employers nationally in terms of its programs, policies and culture for creating an effective and flexible workplace,” states Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute (FWI), a research think tank on workforce and workplace trends that administers the awards. “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.”
