United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Public Affairs Washington, DC 20555 Phone 301-415-8200 Fax 301-415-2234 Internet:opa@nrc.gov No. 96-87 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Wednesday, June 19, 1996)
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.
