BambooHR Honored with 2017 When Work Works Award for its Innovative and Effective Workplace Practices

LINDON, Utah, May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BambooHR, the leading software provider powering the strategic evolution of HR in small and medium businesses, today announced that it has been honored with the 2017 When Work Works Award for its innovative and effective practices in the workplace. This marks the third year that the company has received the distinction.

This prestigious award is part of the Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) When Work Works project, a national initiative that helps employers become more successful by transforming the way they view and adopt effective and flexible workplaces.

The award recognizes employers of all sizes across the country that are 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 the additional evidence-based aspects of effective workplaces, such as opportunities for learning, a culture of respect and trust, and job autonomy.

"From the beginning, our intention at BambooHR has been to focus on our people and culture first. We knew that if we built a great place to work, other areas of the business would follow," said Ben Peterson, CEO and co-founder of BambooHR. "It's exciting to see our efforts recognized by a distinguished organization like SHRM, and we're honored to receive this award."

BambooHR is committed to creating an effective work environment that increases employee productivity and engagement through meaningful work and overall well-being. The company is known nationwide for its effective programs, including flexible work hours, paid paid vacation, and financial counseling. BambooHR also fosters a company environment that encourages ingenuity no matter an employee's rank.

In applying for the award, BambooHR was evaluated on factors associated with employee health, well-being and engagement; 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.

"These winners have reinvented their workplaces in ways that benefit business and employees alike and are reaping the benefits in terms of employee job satisfaction and retention," said Cassidy Solis, senior advisor, workplace flexibility, at SHRM.

BambooHR earned the When Work Works award after a rigorous assessment analyzing the real-life experiences of employees and evaluating the organization against national benchmarks of employer practices from the National Study of Employers and the employee experiences from the National Study of the Changing Workforce. Along with this assessment, two-thirds of BambooHR's winning score was based on a survey of its employees.
