Oct. 5, 2012 Source: Arysta LifeScience news release The Arysta LifeScience North America headquarters in Cary, N.C., has been honored with the 2012 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Effectiveness and Flexibility for its use of flexibility as an effective workplace strategy to increase business and employee success. This prestigious award, part of the national When Work Works project administered by the Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management, recognizes employers of all sizes and type across the country. Arysta LifeScience was the only agriculture-related company to receive this prestigious award. "We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our workplace practices," said Annetta Johnson, Head of Human Resources, Arysta LifeScience. "We have successfully responded to the needs of employees by offering a flexible workplace with opportunities for on-site fitness, family friendly outings, volunteer activities, flexible work hours and much more that make our office an enjoyable and engaging place to work." Workplace flexibility - such as flextime, part-time work and compressed workweeks - has been demonstrated to help businesses remain competitive while also benefiting employees. "Our research consistently finds that employees in effective and flexible workplaces have greater engagement on the job and greater desire to stay with their organization. In addition, they report lower stress levels and better overall health," said Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute. The Sloan Awards are unique for their rigorous, two-step selection process, which involves an evaluation of employers' flexibility programs and practices, and a confidential employee survey. All applicants are measured against national norms from the National Study of Employers. "As a recipient of the 2012 Sloan Award, Arysta LifeScience ranks in the top 20% of employers nationally in terms of its programs, policies and culture for creating an effective and flexible workplace," Galinsky said. "In addition, what makes this honor so special is that their employees have corroborated this, affirming that it is indeed an effective and flexible workplace." When Work Works is a national project to educate the business community on the value of workplace flexibility by sharing research and promising practices, and conducting the annual Sloan Awards. It is an ongoing initiative of the Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management. For more information about the When Work Works project and the Alfred P.
