Worksites must first qualify in the top 20% 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 benefits and opportunities for advancement — all factors associated with employee health, well-being, and engagement.

“When Work Works”, is a national research-based initiative that highlights how effective and flexible workplaces can yield positive business results and help employees succeed at work and at home. When Work Works is a joint partnership between the Families and Work Institute (FWI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). The other companies winning locally this year were Afloat Training of the Pacific, HiHR (Hawai’i HR), and UHA (University Health Alliance).
