FROST, RUTTENBERG & ROTHBLATT, P.C. RECOGNIZED BY NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Frost, Ruttenberg & Rothblatt, P.C. was named a winner of the 2008 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility, distinguishing the employer as a leading practitioner of workplace flexibility in Deerfield and across the nation.
The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility are part of the When Work Works project (www.whenworkworks.org), an ongoing initiative of Families and Work Institute, the Institute for a Competitive Workforce (an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce), and the Twiga Foundation. Through When Work Works, these partner organizations provide research, resources, and recognition to employers nationwide, and share the results of research on creating effective and flexible workplaces that meet the needs of the 21st century.
The Sloan Awards recognize organizations that are dedicated to making work “work” for both the employer and the employees. Representing employers of all sizes and all types, winners of this prestigious award not only offer excellent workplace flexibility practices, but they also use flexibility as a strategic business tool to enhance organizational effectiveness while also benefiting employees.
“Employers must develop new recruitment and retention policies. Unprecedented conditions -- a multi-generational workforce, a shrinking labor pool and an increasing demand for skilled workers -- dictate that they do so,” said Greg Roth, Senior Manager of Workforce Education Programs for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for a Competitive Workforce.
Applications for the Alfred P. Sloan Awards were open to all organizations in the greater area with more than 10 employees that had been in business for at least one year. Applicants were evaluated in a rigorous two-step process, first comparing the employer’s application to nationally representative data from Families and Work Institute’s National Study of Employers, and then corroborating the employer responses through a survey of employees.
“Sloan Award winners have put into practice their bold ideas about how to make work work in the 21st century, and they have shown how they can support the needs of their employees while also making their organizations more effective and successful,” said Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute. Each of the 2008 Sloan Award winners will also be recognized nationally, including a full-page congratulatory ad in USA Today, and will be featured in the 2009 issue of the Guide to Bold New Ideas for Making Work Work, published by Families and Work Institute.

Frost, Ruttenberg & Rothblatt, P.C. (FR&R) is proud to have been selected as an advisory board member of the Entrepreneurship Institute, As an Advisory Board member, FR&R participated in The Entrepreneurship Institute’s Annual Presidents’ Forum on September 9th in Chicago. The Presidents’ Forum is a “for President’s/CEO’s/COO’s only” networking event that aids in the development of personal contacts and new ideas that support leadership skills. Presenters, experts and attendees gained a wealth of knowledge, contacts and connections that would take years to acquire otherwise.
FR&R clients were invited to and participated in the 2008 Presidents’ Forum.
I attended the Presidents’ Forum yesterday. That’s a cool group! … Way out of my league and above my head on many subjects, but the breakout sessions were really informative. I attended one on buying and selling a company and another on dealing with the international marketplace, which had some great and pertinent info on China vs. other countries that are being targeted for future low cost manufacturing. I was considering leaving just before the Send off Address, but was sure glad that I didn’t; the closing speech was by Jack Ablin, CIO of Harris Bank; he had a lot of great info about the current and future economy, housing, interest rates etc.. I always thought that this kind of stuff was for Geeks but it’s really pretty exciting when you get into it … or could it be that I’m becoming a Geek? Thank you. I really appreciate FR&R inviting me to this function.
Best regards, Mark Mark Coward, President
Triton Signal Corp.
Thank you for inviting us to the Presidential Forum. It was awesome! We received a tremendous amount of information that we’ll think about for our business. Thanks for getting us involved with the “BIG” business folks.
