The CARE Awards commend outstanding culture and employee engagement strategies, including innovative and sustained corporate social responsibility, to create best places to work across our region. Awards are presented by NVFS and are a natural extension of NVFS’ mission to strengthen Northern Virginia families and the community as a whole, given the mutual importance of work and family.

This year’s esteemed panel spotlighted impactful community engagement strategies developed by CARE-winning companies that align values with purpose, and increase corporate productivity, employee pride and engagement.

Highlighting Corporate Social Responsibility

New in 2018: As corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an effective tool for increasing employee engagement, productivity and workplace wellness, it has become a key pillar of CARE-ing companies. The CARE Awards process will place an increased emphasis on creating a stronger Northern Virginia community through community engagement and CSR.

In November 2017, NVFS’ CARE Awards celebrated 25 years of honoring responsive employers and their influence on the changing dynamic of the Northern Virginia workforce. To commemorate this banner anniversary year, NVFS hosted a special panel of industry leaders to inspire business and workplace evolution in the years ahead.
