Dorsey Named Winner of 2011 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility

International law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP http://www.dorsey.com/locations/Office.aspx?office=22 announced today that it has been named a winner of the 2011 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. The award recognizes the best flexible and effective work practices and policies in the nation.

This is the third consecutive year Dorsey has been recognized.

Applications are evaluated in a two-step process that measures an employer’s workplace flexibility programs, policies and culture against national data from Families and Work Institute’s National Study of Employers, and then validates these with employee input. Employers that rank in the top 20% of employers when compared to these national norms are selected as finalists and the final round involves a confidential survey of 250 employees. The selection of winners is based on a score that combines employer and employee responses.

"We are honored to be recipients of the Sloan Award," said Marianne D. Short, Dorsey’s Managing Partner. "A flexible work environment is a key element in the integration of life and work for all of our people. Our mission of providing superior client service is supported by the effort we have made to create a flexible workplace. This award acknowledges our efforts."
