A Flexible Workplace Wins Honorable Mention for Herzing University

For the third year in a row, Herzing University in Milwaukee has placed in the Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. The Alfred P. Sloan Awards are an ongoing initiative of the Families and Work Institute, the Institute for a Competitive Workforce (an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce), and the Twiga Foundation to recognize businesses that are dedicated to making work “work” for employers and their employees. Sloan Awards are presented in the Milwaukee region and 29 other communities.

Herzing University earned an Honorable Mention. “We are proud to be recognized for our dedication to our employees,” said Renee Herzing, president. “We are focused on providing a positive work environment that helps people balance work and life, while maintaining high levels of productivity.” Herzing University offers flexible workspace and scheduling, professional development and technology reimbursements, paid time for volunteering in the community, and educational benefits to employees, among other benefits. Herzing’s high-energy team atmosphere and employee-focused policies support a healthy balance between work and home and creates an environment where the turnover is low and the job satisfaction is high.
