KLR Receives Prestigious When Work Works Award

KLR has been honored with a 2016 When Work Works Award for its use of effective workplace strategies to increase business and employee success. We are pleased to accept this award for the 5th straight year.

This prestigious award, part of the national When Work Works project administered by the Families and Work Institute (FWI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), recognizes employers of all sizes and types across the country.

“We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our workplace practices,” said Alan Litwin, Managing Director. “We are always looking for ways to improve our work environment and enhance our existing client relationships”.

The award is the result of a rigorous assessment. Worksites must first qualify by ranking in the top 20 percent of the country based on a nationally representative sample of employers. Two-thirds of the evaluation of applicants comes from an employee survey. Applicants are evaluated on six research-based ingredients of an effective workplace: opportunities for learning; a culture of trust; work/life fit; supervisor support for work success; autonomy; and satisfaction with earnings, benefits and opportunities for advancement — all factors associated with employee health, well-being and engagement.
