This information has been copied and adapted from the Purdue OWL, an excellent resource on citation. Visit their website for more information.

When a source has a corporate, group, or organization author, you should use the name of the group followed by the page number for the in-text citation. You should also use abbreviations (like Nat'l for National) where appropriate, to avoid interrupting the flow of reading with very long parenthetical citations.

For example, let's say you use a profile from the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The author would be the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. That might be too long to put in an in-text citation, so you could abbreviated it to US BLS. Then, the full record in your Works Cited Page would begin with the author as United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
