For the 10th consecutive year, a number of BDO offices were presented with the prestigious When Work Works award — administered by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). This year, 10 BDO offices were ranked among the top 25 percent of employers nationally for their programs, policies and culture to create an effective and flexible workplace. BDO offices recognized this year are:

• Boston
• Jacksonville
• Madison
• Marlton
• Milwaukee
• Minneapolis
• San Jose
• Seattle
• Stamford
• Tampa

The When Work Works award recognizes employers excelling at offering a variety of top-rated employee initiatives such as work-life fit policies, flexible scheduling and transition to parenthood programs. The award goes beyond work-life programs and includes initiatives that address additional evidence-based aspects of effective workplaces: autonomy; supervisor support for job success; coworker support for job success; satisfaction with earnings, benefits and opportunities to advance; opportunities for learning; and a culture of trust, respect and belonging.

The selection process is rigorous, and includes an evaluation of an employer’s programs and practices against national data from the SHRM National Study of Employers. There is also a confidential employee survey to measure workplace effectiveness. For more information on the When Work Works award, visit whenworkworks.org.
