The Employment Practices committee focuses its efforts on enhancing Wyoming’s businesses environment. They accomplish this through the Wyoming Summit Award.
The Summit Award recognizes businesses that have successfully instituted family friendly workplace practices through programs that broaden, strengthen and support their workforce. The intent is to recognize those who have made employment conditions better in one or more of these areas. Any or all of the following attributes will be considered:
Broadening the workforce – programs and policies should enable the business to progress toward an equitable and diverse workforce from under-represented populations.
Strengthening the workforce – programs and policies should promote wages that compare to regional or national averages for similar jobs and wage disparity between men’s and women’s wages should be nonexistent.
Supporting the workforce – programs and policies should demonstrate efforts to satisfy employees (single individuals or otherwise) and their families needs for flexible schedules, day care for children or elders, and any other service that would minimize stresses of balancing the demands of work and family obligations and increase employees’ productivity.
