New York, NY (March 14, 2007)—Working Mother magazine today announced that Nutritional Concepts, Inc. is a 2007 Working Mother Best Small Company. Launched in 2006, the Working Mother Best Small Companies initiative honors businesses with between five and 100 employees that are using innovative combinations of traditional and creative benefits to improve work/life balance.

“Nutritional Concepts is exceptional for its commitment to working mothers, and Working Mother commends it for providing a model to small businesses across the country,” said Carol Evans, CEO of Working Mother Media. “The common misconception is that small companies can’t afford to provide generous employee benefits, but these innovators are proving that working mom-friendly policies and financial success go hand in hand.” “I congratulate Nutritional Concepts for recognizing that helping moms balance work and family is a worthy and rewarding endeavor,” added Suzanne Riss, Editor-in-Chief of Working Mother magazine.
