SimpleHR Makes Top 100 Best Companies List
SimpleHR was recently named one of Florida's Best Companies To Work For.
The annual Best Companies list is featured in the August issue of Florida Trend magazine. One-hundred companies are ranked in small, medium and large employer categories.
To participate, companies or government entities had to employ at least 15 workers in Florida and have been in operation at least one year. Companies that chose to participate underwent an evaluation of their workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The process also included a survey to measure employee satisfaction. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

"Top companies provide excellent pay, health insurance, 401k plans, and other "hard" benefits, but they also offer the leadership and communications that encourage employees to participate in the organization's overall success," says Florida Trend Publisher Andy Corty. "And to that long list, enjoyment options such as table tennis or other games bring energy to the enterprise."
The Best Companies To Work For In Florida program was created by Florida Trend and Best Companies Group and is endorsed by the HR Florida State Council. Best Companies Group managed the registration, survey and analysis and determined the final rankings.

Currently, we are awaiting the Office of Insurance Regulation's decision on the proposed increase. Their decision could be to accept the proposed increase, adjust the amount of increase either up or down or reject the proposal. Ultimately, nothing will change until the Office of Insurance Regulation makes a decision. In the meantime, SimpleHR will continue to monitor the progress of this proposed change.
