CSSP Wins the 2014 When Work Works Award!


The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) is proud to announce it has been honored with the 2014 When Work Works Award for its use of effective workplace strategies to increase business and employee success.

The Families and Work Institute (FWI) and the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) announced the 2014 winners of the When Work Works Awards, which recognize employers that have created effective workplaces based on six components: autonomy; work-life fit; supervisor support for work success; satisfaction with earnings, benefits and opportunities for advancement; opportunities for learning; and a culture of trust.

The award is the result of a rigorous assessment. Worksites must first qualify in the top 20% of the country based on a nationally representative sample of employers. Two-thirds of the evaluation of applicants comes from an employee survey. Applicants are evaluated on six research-based ingredients of an effective workplace: opportunities for learning; a culture of trust; work-life fit; supervisor support for work success; autonomy; and satisfaction with earnings, benefits and opportunities for advancement — all factors associated with employee health, well-being, and engagement.

A total of 284 workplaces won the award. Within the District of Columbia, CSSP joins KPMG, and USDA as the top three winners.
