Arysta LifeScience recognized for exemplary workplace practices, receives prestigious “When Work Works” award


Cary, Northern Carolina, USA
September 18, 2014

Arysta LifeScience North America has been honored with the 2014 When Work Works Award for its use of effective workplace strategies to increase business and employee success.

This prestigious award, part of the national When Work Works project administered by the Families and Work Institute (FWI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), recognizes employers of all sizes and types across the country.

“We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our workplace practices,” said Annetta Johnson, Head of Human Resources, Arysta LifeScience North America. “Flexibility is one of the things that our customers love about Arysta LifeScience. So, it just made sense to extend flexibility as a value proposition to our employees. We offer our employees flexible work hours and telecommuting as a matter of practice and policy, which allows employees to be effective both at work and at home.”

The award is the result of a rigorous assessment. 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 earnings, benefits and opportunities for advancement — all factors associated with employee health, well-being and engagement.

“The When Work Works Award recognizes organizations that foster a culture of workplace flexibility and effectiveness, which gives them a competitive advantage. Their practices set them apart from other organizations,” said Lisa Horn, director of SHRM’s Workplace Flexibility Initiative.

When Work Works is a national project that shares research results on what makes an effective and flexible workplace with the business community.
