Lingle to Receive 2007 Work Life Legacy Award Honored for Role in America’s Work Life Movement
Scottsdale, Ariz. – Kathleen M. Lingle, Director of Alliance for Work-Life Progress (AWLP), has been named an honoree of the 2007 Work Life Legacy Award. Families and Work Institute presents the award each year to recognize outstanding leaders in the work-life movement.
The Work Life Legacy Award was created to have the leaders who have changed the American workplace provide first-hand accounts of this history. Families and Work Institute began documenting this movement in 2004.
Lingle was instrumental in AWLP’s original affiliation with WorldatWork in 2004, developing the work-life component of the total rewards model. "Tremendous progress has been made in work-life policy and practice in three decades,” Lingle said. “More and more employers are catching onto the power of respecting employees for who they are, in addition to what they produce. Collectively, we are changing the world, one employer at a time.”
In addition to leading Alliance for Work-Life Progress, Lingle is a member of the Conference Board’s Work-Life Leadership Council, for which she served as co-chair for several years.
Prior to her current position at WorldatWork, Lingle served as National Work-Life Director at KPMG LLP where she had primary responsibility for creating and implementing workplace strategies that support the work-life effectiveness of KPMG’s 18,000 U.S. employees. She was the primary architect of KPMG’s historic Work Environment Initiative, a multi-year culture change initiative that continues to this day.
Honorees for the Work Life Legacy Award are nominated by the previous year’s winners, then selected through an internal process at Families and Work Institute. They are honored at an awards luncheon in June in New York City.
