WOODINVILLE - Duane Hartman & Associates (DHA) is one of 19 Washington businesses recently honored at the Association of Washington Business (AWB) Board of Directors meeting as a recipient of the 2003 Better Workplace Award for going the extra mile in creating and maintaining better workplaces.

AWB President Don Brunell and Board Chair Mike Bernard were on hand to present the awards Wednesday, Dec. 10, at the Seattle Renaissance Madison Hotel.

The 2003 AWB Better Workplace Awards were given to AWB member businesses both small and large. Award categories included workplace safety, job training and advancement, and innovative benefit and compensation programs. The annual awards program recognizes AWB member companies that go the extra mile to create workplaces that are family-friendly, promote safety and enable employees to achieve their best. In recognizing those outstanding companies, the awards also draw attention to examples of workplace policies that may help other companies identify and develop programs aimed at boosting morale, increasing productivity, improving recruiting and retention, and reducing training costs.

An independent panel of judges chose the winners.

DHA was chosen as a winner in the workplace safety category with fewer than 25 employees. The company’s employees use and participate in the development of the company’s work safety protection program as they pre-plan their daily work assignments. The safety program encourages employees to take personal responsibility & accountability for their actions on a daily basis and work toward the elimination of workplace near-miss incidents & accidents. Understanding and identifying potential workplace hazards is a key element of DHA’s work safety protection program. The company’s mutual responsibility to provide a safe work environment for all DHA employees and those who work around them has benefited all involved.
