LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas - May 8, 2008 -- Winners of the Governor's Work-Life Balance Awards were recognized at a luncheon yesterday at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock. Nineteen Arkansas employers received awards in the sixth annual ceremony, formerly named the Governor's Family-Friendly Awards.

Allied Therapy and Consulting Services was named this year's Ambassador Award. Ambassadors help other Arkansas employers to address work-life balance issues by sharing their expertise and success stories. Allied Therapy and Consulting Services joins Baptist Health, which was named the first Ambassador in 2006.

New this year is the Mature Worker Award, which recognized three companies for their ongoing efforts to provide a work environment friendly to mature workers. The winners were:
  • Nabholz Construction Corporation, Conway
  • Medic One Ambulance Service, Jonesboro
  • Bank of the Ozarks, Little Rock
The awards are presented by the Governor's Work-Life Initiative, whose mission is to recognize Arkansas employers for establishing and providing resources that support employees in balancing the needs of both work and family.

The winners, based on number of employees, were:

Large Companies:
  • St. Joseph's Mercy Health Center, Hot Springs, Gold
  • Nestlé Prepared Foods Company, Jonesboro, Silver
  • White County Medical Center, Searcy, Bronze
  • University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Bronze

  • Konecny Insurance Service Inc., Stuttgart, Silver
  • Bell and Company, North Little Rock, Silver
  • Mainstream Technologies Inc., Little Rock, Bronze
The Work-Life Initiative also announced the Spotlight and Innovative Award winners, honoring three organizations that provided exemplary strategies that support a healthy work-life balance.

Spotlight Award Winners:
  • Vestcom International, Inc. Little Rock
  • Navigator Telecommunications, North Little Rock
  • Fayetteville Public School District #1, Fayetteville
  • Professional Counseling Associates, Little Rock
Innovative Award Winners:

"With increased economic strains on many families, companies that help employees balance work and life issues are increasingly valuable," Governor Mike Beebe said. "I hope that these winners will become role models for other business leaders who want to create programs that lead to happy employees and higher productivity."

Companies that were nominated for the awards were asked to provide information regarding issues such as health benefits, work-time options and childcare assistance. If a company did not have formal work-life policies, informal ways of making the work environment as family-friendly as possible were taken into account.

Partners in the initiative are Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, Arkansas Business Publication Group, Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce and Associated Industries of Arkansas, Arkansas State University, Child Care Resource and Referral Network, and the Society of Human Resource Managers. The following state offices and agencies are also partners in the initiative: the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, the Department of Education, the Department of Workforce Education, the Department of Health, the Department of Human Services (DHS) Arkansas Early Childhood Commission, DHS Communications, DHS Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education, DHS Division of County Operations, and the Office of the Governor.

Looking to the Future

Just 15 to 20 years ago technology was considered to be a "nice to have" tool for business.  Thermal fax machines were novel and utilized by large businesses only.  Computers required considerable office space and environmentals.  Intercoms were the most common means of interoffice communication.  As technology became more pervasive and therefore less expensive, businesses invested in technology much like inventory or office furniture.

Fast-forward to today's business world and you'll find that technology sits at the center of most every business.  Some continue to consider it optional tools, but the reality is that technology now drives all business processes.  Technology enables efficiencies that reduce labor; it creates standard processes that eliminates waste and errors; it even bridges the gap between multiple disparate technology systems.

"So what?" you ask.  Maintaining your IT investment is far more critical today than ever.  System failure, data loss, outdated technology and misconfigured technology can cost your business dearly, not to mention the mental stress.  Does your business have the appropriate expertise assuring business continuity, efficiency and process management?  Are you depending on your desktop support personnel to provide decision points for your overall IT infrastructure?  Does your existing IT staff have the time to deliver new technology projects timely and effectively?  Are there better ways of taking your existing technology investments and provisioning them for future needs?

Technology has become the center of your business' universe.  Mainstream can provide your business with objective, professional and expert insight that can reduce your costs, improve your processes, and give your business the competitive differentiation needed in today's environment.
