For the second year in a row, UWCNM was named one of New Mexico’s 2020 Family Friendly Businesses in the Gold Category by Family Friendly New Mexico, a statewide initiative that recognizes companies that adopt policies that give NM businesses advantages in recruiting and retaining the best employees.

We value our employees and know that if they have time to take care of things in their personal lives, they can be more productive and focus on their work here,” says Bill Newell, UWCNM’s chief financial officer. “It makes good business sense.”

Companies in the Gold category are committed leaders. Recipients meet at least one family friendly policy in each of the four categories and receive the family friendly business award seal and a certificate of recognition that they can use in their business materials and promotion.

The four categories are paid leave, health support, work schedules, and economic support.
