News and Events
When Work Works is a nationwide initiative to bring research on workplace effectiveness and flexibility into community and business practice. Since its inception in 2004, When Work Works has partnered with an ever-expanding cohort of communities from around the country to:
- share rigorous research and employer best practices on workplace effectiveness and flexibility;
- recognize exemplary employers through the Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Excellence in Effective and Flexible Workplaces; and
- inspire positive change so that increasing numbers of employers understand how flexibility can benefit both business and employees, and use it as a tool to create more effective workplaces.
Media coverage of the When Work Works initiative, Sloan Award-winners, and our research on workplace flexibility have appeared in numerous publications across the country, including USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, NPR, and many others.
