Applicants are evaluated on work-life programs, policies, and practices that meet the needs and challenges facing employees today, such as caring for dependents, health and wellness, financial support and education, paid and unpaid time off, and workforce experience and engagement. This year’s recipients are from a wide range of industries and hail from 30 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada.
