Valogix Taps Moms to Expand Workforce
November 5, 2007 - Saratoga Springs, NY - Valogix LLC is paving the way for working parents to achieve greater work-life balance, creating a lower-stressed, more committed staff. Recently, Stacy Roderman accepted a permanent, part-time position as the second stay-at-home professional mom in its employ. Stacy is working in the technical department as a software engineer, helping with all aspects of product development. "We are excited to have Stacy on board to contribute to all aspects of our product development. She will be a great addition to our team dedicated to creating world-class software products that enable our customers to work more productively and efficiently," stated Mark Yablonski, Chief Technology Officer at Valogix.
The first employee to work a reduced schedule to accommodate work-life balance was Dawn DiLorenzo, hired in April 2005, then four months pregnant. After an extended maternity leave and returning part-time schedule, it became clear that a change was necessary. After negotiating a part-time, home-based position in the marketing department, both parties experienced increased productivity and a greater level of satisfaction.
"It can be difficult to determine which positions are suitable to be home-based, but once you have an employee that you want to keep, you make adjustments," noted Tom Glacken, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. "Keeping Dawn on staff in a marketing position benefited both the company and Dawn personally."
Working mothers are not the only employees to benefit from the Work-Life Balance program at Valogix, still in its infancy. Valogix employs several men in remote offices in Colorado, Georgia, New Hampshire and Maryland. "Expanding the talent pool to include candidates from around the country allows Valogix to recruit the best people for the position and gives them a greater level of satisfaction with Valogix as an employer," noted Rich Vaccaro, President and CEO of Valogix. "Our employees are the heart of this company and giving them a satisfactory level of work-life balance creates an atmosphere of trust and dependability."
