Third Time's the Charm...

For the third consecutive year, Tele-Tech’s parent company, KFR Services, Inc., has been awarded the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility*. This recognition is awarded to employers nationwide that are "successfully using flexibility to meet both business and employee goals".

The Sloan awards are presented based on a company’s ability to demonstrate that workplace flexibility is truly part of the corporate culture and the way in which business is conducted on a daily basis. To ensure an accurate picture is obtained, each company’s employees provide the truth factor by participating in a detailed evaluation of workplace flexibility as it’s experienced firsthand. And, for three years in a row, employee surveys (which are the final selection criteria) have resulted in KFR being named a Sloan recipient.

KFR’s culture of flexibility and focus provides an environment that enables a dedicated staff to achieve outstanding results. Current flexibility programs at KFR include a flexible work schedule, telecommuting opportunities, relaxed dress code – and, new parents may bring their babies to work for the first six months.

"It is extremely rewarding to know that our employees enjoy the flexibility we’ve built into our corporate culture and appreciate the steps we’ve taken to make KFR a great place to work. We have an amazing team, and providing a good work environment that takes into account the personal and professional needs of our staff enables us to achieve great things," stated Kimberly Russo, Co-President.

KFR will continue to look for ways to provide workplace flexibility in hopes that we may take the prize four years in a row. We’ll keep you posted.

*The Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility is part of When Work Works, a "national project on workplace effectiveness and workplace flexibility from Families and Work Institute in partnership with The Institute for a Competitive Workforce, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Twiga Foundation".
