TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The CIBER, Inc. (NYSE:CBR) Global Solution Center in Tampa has been awarded the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. This award is given to organizations of all sizes and all types across the country that are using workplace flexibility as a strategy to increase workplace effectiveness and yield positive business results.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010927/CBRLOGO) The Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility are part of the When Work Works project, an ongoing initiative of Families and Work Institute, the Institute for a Competitive Workforce (an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce), and the Twiga Foundation. Through When Work Works, these partner organizations provide research, resources, and recognition to employers nationwide. The project shares the results of research on creating effective and flexible workplaces that meet the needs of the 21st century. "From new forms of flexible work arrangements that minimize lay-offs, to creative cost-cutting that retains core medical benefits, to providing financial information and support to employees, these employers are braving the economic storm through innovative policies that prevent undue shock to their workplaces and their employees," said Ellen Galinsky, President, Families and Work Institute. "We are thrilled to be a second-time winner of the Alfred P. Sloan award," said Clif Daniel, CIBER Tampa Global Solution Center Director. "Being flexible is a business necessity in the current economic climate, allowing us to create a work environment that supports challenges and rewards our employees, from hiring on through to retirement. By thinking outside the box, we are able to recruit and retain top caliber staff that come on-board and stay on-board because of the culture we've created. In recognizing that our employees have varied family and life situations, and respecting those differences, we position ourselves to help our employees contribute in ways that work for them, all without confining someone to a cubicle from 9-5 and without compromising our business model." Now in its fifth year, the prestigious awards program expanded its application base to organizations nation-wide for the first time in 2009. With the introduction of an "at-large" category and 30 participating communities across the country, any organization in the U.S. was eligible for the award. Applicants were evaluated in a rigorous two-step process, first comparing the employer's application to nationally representative data from Families and Work Institute's National Study of Employers, and then corroborating the employer responses through a survey of employees.
