MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2003

Today the American Society on Aging (ASA) honored Ceridian, a leader in managed business solutions for human resource and employee effectiveness services, with the 14th Annual ASA Business and Aging Award in collaboration with the Business Forum on Aging (BFA), a constituent group of ASA. The award was accepted by the company at the 2003 Joint Conference of National Council on the Aging (NCOA) and ASA, held at the Sheraton Hotel & Towers in Chicago.

"In presenting this award, we acknowledge Ceridian's outstanding achievements in corporate elder care services that provide workers and their older family members with access to empowering resources that enable them to embrace life and be successful," said Gloria Cavanagh, president and chief executive officer, American Society on Aging. "Ceridian has developed an impressive track record in providing a variety of helpful services for the aging workforce community and older people, and we expect that to continue for a very long time."

The ASA Business and Aging Award recognizes for-profit companies for exemplary programs and services that meet the needs of older people and their families, expand public awareness of the private sector's increasing involvement with older adults, and create performance models for other companies to use.

Ceridian was cited for its innovation as the first company to provide a corporate elder care program on a national basis and the first company to move beyond traditional elder care consultations and referrals by offering the next generation of elder care support: in-person care management services for employed caregivers. Responding to changing workforce demographics, Ceridian led the employee assistance programs and work-life industries with support for mature workers facing midlife transitions and retirement preparation. Ceridian's LifeWorks(R) materials portray aging as a natural part of life and educating the public on misconceptions about the aging process is one of Ceridian's overall goals.

"Ceridian is passionate about meeting the needs of an aging workforce," said Diane Piktialis, work-life product director at Ceridian's U.S. human resources solutions business. "Our LifeWorks services promote the concept of 'Successful Aging.' Whether an employee needs help caring for a parent, maintaining a healthy lifestyle as they reach midlife, or preparing for retirement, LifeWorks gives them the support, information and resources to take control of their situation and resolve it with success."

Ceridian's work-life programs provide support on a wide range of topics, including financial matters, parenting and childcare, resources for older adults, education, and the everyday issues that consume busy people's time. Ceridian's LifeWorks clients include nearly 50 percent of the Fortune 100 and Working Mother Magazine's Best Companies. As the industry leader, the company serves more than 25,000 client companies and over 9 million employees and their family members.
