Call For Entries: Best Companies for Hourly Workers
Applications Now Being Accepted for 2011 Working Mother Best Companies for Hourly Workers

For the second year, Corporate Voices is pleased to partner with Working Mother Media to present the Best Companies for Hourly Workers. Best Companies for Hourly Workers honors companies dedicated to creating and using best practices to support their non-exempt employees.

Public or private for-profit companies are invited to apply, including companies, corporations, and autonomous subsidiaries that offer their own benefits program and report to their own CEO.

Applicants must also have a minimum of 500 employees in the U.S. with at least 50% of those U.S. employees being nonexempt workers.

The online survey is open to applicants from July 16 through October 15, 2010 at wmmsurveys.com. There is no cost to apply.

Winning companies will be featured in the May 2011 issue of Working Mother magazine and on workingmother.com, and will be invited to celebrate their success at an event to be held in the Spring of 2011. Only winning companies will be announced; non-winning companies will remain confidential.

All companies that apply, including those that do not make the Best Companies list, will receive feedback showing how they compare against all applicants.

In April of 2010, the following companies were named to the inaugural list of Best Companies for Hourly Workers:
  • CCLC (Childrens' Creative Learning Centers)
  • Marriott International
  • McDonald's USA
  • Sodexo
  • University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics
  • UNM Hospitals
