NRC RECEIVES CITATION FOR OUTSTANDING WORK AND FAMILY
PROGRAMS
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been awarded an
Honorable Mention citation as a finalist in the 1996 Office
of Personnel Management's Director's Award for Outstanding
Work and Family Programs.
This awards program, begun in 1993, recognizes Federal
agencies with innovative and flexible programs to help
employees balance the demands of the workplace and their
families. These programs are intended as models for other
agencies faced with the challenges of maintaining employee
productivity and motivation while downsizing.
The citation credits the NRC, as an agency with an
increasingly diversified workforce, with becoming more
responsive to employee needs in areas such as child and
elder care, alternate work schedules, job-sharing, part-time
employment, and family medical leave policies.
The NRC is one of eight agencies recognized with an
award or Honorable Mention citation. The awards will be
presented on June 20 at the Office of Personnel Management
in Washington.
