OLYMPIA – The Association of Washington Business has named 16 companies as recipients of its 2001 Better Workplace Awards.

These awards honor companies for innovations in workplace safety; job training and advancement programs; and benefit and compensation programs.

Honeywell Air Transport Systems, based in Redmond, was the recipient of the 2001 Frank Russell Award. This award honors companies that have consistently offered employees a range of resources such as flex-time, innovative leave programs as well as recognition programs and a strong compensation package.

“The company strongly believes that a one-size-fits-all benefits and compensation package doesn’t address the needs of all of its employees,” said AWB President Don Brunell. “This company has invested a considerable amount of money, time and effort to design a workplace that accommodates all of its employees. It is a pleasure to honor them for their work.”
