“We are proud from an HR viewpoint to be able to tell our perspective employees that we've won two Family Friendly awards in the past 3 years - we use the logos in our print advertising, as well as mention it in our radio spots. We feel it gives us a little extra credibility that our competitors may not have. From an employee viewpoint, we are proud to be working for
an organization that cares about its employees - who realizes that our employees have a life outside of work, and does what they can to make that work-life balance as rewarding as possible. More than 50% of our staff has 5 or more years of service, and we attribute their longevity to the policies and benefits we offer that were recognized in the Family Friendly
Awards.”

“We have proudly displayed the award for our applicants to see and did have it available for the employees to see in the cafeteria. Also, we ran an article in our HR newsletter to show our employees what we won and copied the award for all the communication boards throughout the hospital. It has given us additional information to discuss at our job fairs and in the interviews. As a community it also gives us more to talk about as the leading companies benchmark family friendly practices, thus in the end we all benefit in making the Evansville Community more Family Friendly. “

"I was delighted to have received the award last year for organizational
commitment in Diversity.  D.E.A.R. stands for Diversity Enhances All
Relationships and it is our commitment to this cause that continues to keep
us striving to make Evansville a truly Family Friendly community to all
people.  Being the recipient of this award last year has increased the
people's knowledge of the work that D.E.A.R. is doing in the community.
Other than word of mouth D.E.A.R. does very little adverting of it's own;
however, after receiving this award there has been a lot of inquiring as to
what services D.E.A.R. can provide to individuals who wish to reside in this
area.  With all the work that we put into making sure that people feel that
they can make Evansville a place of diverse culture, opportunity, and
experience, it is great to have that recognition."
