Clearwater, FL — Jul 27, 2010 — Sunbelt Software, now part of the GFI Software family, was recently named one of Florida's Best Companies To Work For.
Sunbelt placed as number 25 on the rankings of medium-sized companies. One-hundred companies were recognized in small, medium and large company categories. The rankings - the second annual statewide Best Companies list - appear in the August issue lorida Trend and on FloridaTrend.com.
The Best Companies To Work For in Florida program was created by Florida Trend and Best Companies Group and endorsed by the HR Florida State Council.
"Companies that retain the best employees with strong workplace programs are frequently the very same companies that serve their clients exceptionally well," says Florida Trend Publisher Andrew Corty. "It's our pleasure to recognize these great companies and encourage others to join them in building Florida's competitive advantage."
To be considered for participation, companies or government entities had to employ at least 15 workers in Florida and be at least a year old.
Companies that chose to participate in the Best Companies To Work For in Florida process underwent a two-part survey process. The first part consisted of evaluating each company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure employee satisfaction. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration, survey and analysis process and determined the final rankings. Companies were not required to pay a participation fee to go through the online assessment process.
"It is an honor to be recognized for the second year in a row as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Florida, and this is an achievement that everyone in the company can be proud of," said Alex Eckelberry, CEO of Sunbelt Software. "Sunbelt places a high value on creating a corporate culture that fosters a rewarding place to work and values the loyalty and dedication of our employees."
"For our coverage this year we looked carefully at the survey results to focus on the practices that distinguish the best companies from the rest. The surveys show that while employees like "bells and whistles' types of benefits, the companies that make the list all are very good at the basics - especially at communicating with their employees and offering training and opportunities to work creatively. This year's stories are a great how-to guide for companies looking to improve," says Mark Howard, executive editor.
