Cascadia is named a winner of the 2007 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility
Principal Marc Daudon accepts the Alfred P. Sloan Award on behalf of Cascadia.
Representing a diverse range of employer size and industry, winners of this prestigious award not only offer excellent workplace flexibility policies and practices, but use flexibility as a strategic business tool to benefit business and employees.
“Two of the biggest issues for employers in today’s economy are recruitment of top talent and retention of valued employees,” said Greg Roth, senior manager of programs for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for a Competitive Workforce. “The business community sees workplace flexibility as a vital piece in a broader plan to develop the strongest possible workforce. As a strategy to stay competitive, workplace flexibility can be a sound business decision for employers no matter the size or industry sector.”
In developing their vision of Cascadia’s culture and goals, the founding partners placed a clear focus on work-life balance: “We wanted this flexibility for ourselves,” they said, “so we thought everyone else should have it, too.”

In 2006 we had some last minute budget surplus grant opportunities foisted upon us that had just a few weeks to be drawn up, prioritized and submitted. Thanks to the cat-herding abilities of Cascadia’s able staff, we were able to get rapidly reach a consensus on projects, submit them and ultimately get two important projects funded. I highly doubt we would have been able to respond in time without Cascadia's assistance.
