Clockwork Active Media Systems has been awarded the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award by the Minnesota Psychological Association.

These awards are made to recognize organizations who show exceptional commitment and/or innovative programs in the following areas:

 - Employee Involvement
 - Work-Life Balance
 - Employee Growth and Development
 - Health and Safety
 - Employee Recognition

"We've worked hard to build a company with a healthy working environment," said President, Nancy Lyons.  "We've always felt like Clockwork is a psychologically healthy place to work -- it's great to have objective proof of that fact."

Clockwork prides itself on creating an environment in which employees are treated as adults and can enjoy a flexible schedule and maintain a healthy work - life balance.  Employees regularly work from home, timeshift their schedules, bring their dogs and kids to work, eat lunch together, solve problems and work collaboratively, and enjoy an open work environment where the lines of communication between management and employees are always open.  These things, and more, contributed to this award.

"I've always wondered if it was crazy for me to love working here so much," mused intern, Kyle Meyer.  "I guess it's not."
