Tar Heel Basement Systems proudly announces being named one of North Carolina’s most flexible and efficient workplaces. The owner, Pete Burgess, received word on Tuesday that his company was selected as a winner of the 2013 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Efficiency and Flexibility.

Tar Heel Basement Systems has distinguished itself as a leading employer of choice by demonstrating success in using flexibility as part of an effective workplace strategy to achieve business goals and benefit employees by helping them meet their responsibilities on and off the job. As a winner of this award, Tar Heel Basement Systems ranks in the top 20% of employers nationally in terms of its programs, policies, and culture for creating an effective and flexible workplace.

What makes this honor so special is that employees have corroborated this, affirming that Tar Heel Basement Systems is indeed an effective and flexible workplace. “I was completely humbled and honored when I heard the news,” proclaimed Burgess. “I firmly believe that in order to run a successful business, you need employees that enjoy working for you and want to perform. I pride myself on being a boss that employees can come to with any problems or concerns.”

Tar Heel Basement Systems was ranked among businesses, big and small, nationwide. CNBC even did a write up about the Families and Work Institute’s annual workplace excellence award, explaining just why “flexible hours, employee engagement and innovation are key ingredients for an employer’s success”.

Congratulations to Pete Burgess and the entire Tar Heel Basement Systems team for receiving this influential award and really setting the bar for up and coming businesses.
