Landrum Talent Solutions Recognized for Innovative and Effective Workplace Practices

Denver, CO (November 26, 2018) – Landrum Talent Solutions has been honored with a 2018 When Work Works Award for exemplary working practices.

The prestigious When Work Works Award is part of the Society for Human Resource Management’s (SHRM’s) 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.

“Working at hrQ involves our families, friends and interests.  Everyone on the team is encouraged through paid time off to give back to their communities, churches, schools or other interests – as well as to take time with families to recharge. Employees are eligible for a 1-month paid sabbatical after five years of service to spend time with family, travel, pursue a personal interest, or contribute to an important cause,” said Kathy Rapp, Managing Partner at hrQ.

In applying for the award, Landrum Talent Solutions 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 organizations developed HR policies and programs to support and maintain this environment, and they are reaping the benefits with increased retention, productivity, and overall success for their investment,” said Lisa Horn, SHRM vice president, Congressional Affairs.

The award is earned after a rigorous assessment that emphasizes the real-life experiences of employees and incorporates national benchmarks of employer practices from the National Study of Employers and the employee experiences from the National Study of the Changing Workforce. Two-thirds of an organization’s winning score is based on a survey of its employees.
