Timextender
August 18, 2022
Also Takes Home Silver and Two Bronze Stevie® Awards for Great Employers
Accolades Mark Third Year Running for Timextender to Win a Stevie® Gold
Timextender has been named the winner of the Gold Stevie® Award for “Employee Relations Team of the Year” in the seventh annual Stevie Awards for Great Employers.
Timextender was also awarded the Silver Stevie for “Achievement in Workplace Health & Wellbeing,” a Bronze for “Achievement in Employee Engagement,” and a Bronze for “Achievement in Workplace Design.”
The Stevie Awards for Great Employers recognize the world’s best employers and the human resources professionals, teams, achievements and HR-related products and suppliers who help to create and drive great places to work.
Over the last year or so, Timextender’s employee relations team in coordination with the company’s Executive Circle, transformed its successful business into a fully distributed, fully remote global organization with headquarters “in the cloud,” as it seeks to set humans free to focus on life balance and output over hours. It has become a leader in remote work by taking its modernization efforts to new levels.
Here’s what some of the different award judges had to say about Timextender’s employee relations and engagement, health and wellbeing programs, and workplace design:
- “Timextender's Team and the cultural vision they have created is a futuristic GAME CHANGER!!!”
- “Lots of great initiatives and ideas around employee relations which contribute to engagement, wellness, satisfaction, performance, and more. Keep up the great work!”
- “You have demonstrated a well thought out and executed employee relations program. Be proud! Nicely done.”
- “It is a well-established company with enough documentary evidence to show that it took good initiatives for employees in 2020.”
- “There are many hurdles current employers have to jump to become a company of the future. Timextender has done it! I wish most companies could function this way and will be interested to follow their development as we see what changes work and what doesn't post-COVID. Timextender is leading the way.”
- A lot of companies choose corporate values because they think that is what you are supposed to do, but they don't actually live by them when it comes to managing their teams. This is clearly not the case at Timextender! There is a plethora of positive employee-centric, remote-friendly, engagement strategies outlined in the submission and the only question I have is: Where do I sign up?!
- “One of the smartest work environments, I have seen. The organization knows exactly its goals and people and understands that its employees are not only partners in success but also the backbone of the impact they want to make. Although working remotely could be challenging to some people to stay on track, but Timextender showed an incredible supporting system to boost productivity and wellbeing.”
Timextender continues to receive industry recognition for its modern-day business approach in employee relations and work culture. In fact, this is the third year in a row that Timextender has won a Gold Stevie Award: the others were in 2021 for “Covid Response – Most Innovative Workplace Redesign” and in 2020 for “HR Department of the Year – Employee Relations Team of the Year.”
“Our team has done it again! I’m so proud of the work that our employee relations team has accomplished in cultivating a unique, healthy, high-performing culture to support the Xpeople here at Timextender,” said Anne Krog Iversen, Co-founder at Timextender. “Employee relations has always been a cornerstone at Timextender, but even more so today as we are now a fully distributed, fully remote global organization. Offering unique ways for all of us to interact and socialize is at the heart of helping us to make greater strides in empowering the world with data, mind, and heart -- because time matters.
“It’s always very exciting to be acknowledged for making a difference in providing a modern-day, work environment where current and future Xpeople can feel at ‘home.’ To be recognized as the ‘Employee Relations Team of the Year’ once again is quite an accomplishment for our team -- one that will be proudly shared by all of us here at Timextender.”
More than 950 nominations from organizations of all sizes in 26 nations were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of HR-related categories, including Achievement in Workplace Safety & Compliance, Employer of the Year, Chief Human Resources Officer of the Year, Human Resources Team of the Year, Employee Relations Solution Provider of the Year among others.
More than 100 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners. Winners in the Employer of the Year categories were determined by a unique blending of the ratings of the professional judges and more than 80,000 public votes. The public vote was sponsored by HiBob.
“We congratulate all of the winners in the seventh edition of the Stevie Awards for Great Employers, and we look forward to celebrating them in Las Vegas on September 17, our first awards banquet since 2019,” said Stevies president Maggie Miller.
