Westminster receives Work/Life Award on July 16, 2008

SALT LAKE CITY – The Department of Workforce Services recently named Westminster College as one of “Utah’s best places to work” during the 2008 Utah Work/Life Award ceremony on July 16, 2008.

Westminster was presented the Utah Work/Life Award in the medium-size business category, along with eight other organizations. The Work/Life Award recognizes and honors companies that are creating exceptional workplaces by effectively addressing employee work/life needs and striving to provide a culture of equity and opportunity. The medium business category includes companies with 50 to 500 employees.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of Utah’s best places to work,” said Michael Bassis, Westminster College president. “Our college has always focused on cultivating an exceptional environment for our faculty and staff as well as a unique environment for student learning. This award really attests to this.”

In addition to Westminster, eight others companies were honored in the “medium” category, including: Cooper Roberts Simonsen Assoc., ForeverGreen, Futura Industries, Intermountain Financial Group, The Leavitt Group, MVCI Owner Services, Software Technology Group and TURN Community Services.

This is the first year Westminster has been awarded the Utah Work/Life Award, although it has been a “runner-up” for several years.
