SMS Voted Best Place to Work in Hernando County.

Pasco Hernando Workforce Board Announces Winners of 2009 Best Places to Work Awards in Hernando County.

Twenty six employers in Pasco and Hernando counties were recognized by the Pasco Hernando Workforce Board culminating the third annual Best Places to Work competition. The Pasco Hernando Workforce Board contracted with Personnel Dynamics Consulting of Ft. Pierce, Florida to provide vital information to local companies about the practices they use to attract and retain employees.

Personnel Dynamics Consulting used answers provided by employers to 37 different measurements to determine the region’s best places to work. Companies provided information on turnover rates, growth rates, employee development investments and spending, promotion percentages, insurance packages, retirement plans and general benefit packages.

Each company that participated in the survey will receive a personalized report documenting the survey and samples of some of the bests practices in the region.

With over 125 individuals in attendance, the awards were announced today at the Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club in San Antonio, Florida. Each winner received a trophy and a banner designating them a “Best Place to Work” in Pasco and Hernando counties to be displayed at their workplace.
