Best Companies For Hourly Workers Survey

Following in the 24-year tradition of the Working Mother 100 Best Companies, Working Mother is proud to introduce its latest initiative: Best Companies for Hourly Workers, which will honor companies dedicated to creating and using best practices to support their hourly employees.

In partnership with Corporate Voices for Working Families, an organization devoted to improving the lives of working families, Working Mother is now developing the Best Companies for Hourly Workers application. This application will ask companies to report availability and usage of programs that support hourly workers.

All companies that apply, including those that don't make the list, will receive feedback showing how they compared to all other applicants. Meanwhile, all winning companies will be featured in the May 2010 issue of Working Mother magazine, and on workingmother.com. Winning companies will also be invited to celebrate their honor at an event to be held next year in New York City.

WHO CAN APPLY?
Your company is eligible to apply to the Working Mother Best Companies for Hourly Workers initiative if it has a minimum of 500 employees in the United States, at least half (50%) of whom are nonexempt.

Public or private companies are invited to apply, including companies, corporations, and autonomous subsidiaries that offer their own benefits program and report to their own CEO. Government Educational institutions, even if state supported, are eligible.

The following organizations are NOT eligible to apply: Divisions of companies and companies in the business of providing work/life or child-care services or consulting, and government agencies (taxation and revenue departments, motor vehicle bureaus, military, legislatures, executive branches, judiciaries, prosecutorial offices, etc.).

Please be sure that only one contact per company registers for this survey. This individual will receive all email alerts and be provided with an email link to the company’s application when it goes live. The registered contact will be the single point of contact for all survey-related correspondence .

DEADLINES
Companies are encouraged to register now to stay informed of upcoming deadlines. The application itself will go live on July 17, 2009, and will remain open to applicants until October 16, 2009.
