The Utah Department of Workforce Services has announced the winners of its 2012 Work/Life Awards.

The awards are presented to companies that have built corporate cultures that value employees' contributions to their operations and also help them to better deal with their lives on and off the job. Work/Life awards are based on employee responses to surveys about their workplaces.
