Peak 10 Named to Top 100 Best Companies to Work For in Florida
TAMPA and JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (July 30, 2009) — Peak
10, Inc., the leading independent data center operator and managed services
provider, was recently named one of Florida’s Best Companies to Work For. The
company was one of 100 recognized in small, medium and large company categories.
The rankings – the first statewide Best Companies list – appear in the August
issue Florida Trend and on FloridaTrend.com. “We believe that happy
employees lead to satisfied customers,” said Allen Skipper, the regional vice
president of market operations for Peak 10. “We are intensely passionate about
what we do and how we do it, the shared success of our employees, and our
ability to satisfy the needs of our valuable customers. We have embraced a
culture that puts the customer first but demonstrates employees really count and
are part of a cohesive team.” The Best Companies to Work For in
Florida program was created by Florida Trend and Best Companies Group, and is
endorsed by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the Florida Association of Chamber
Professionals, the Florida Economic Development Council (FEDC), the Florida
Restaurant and Lodging Association, the Florida Society of Association
Executives (FSAE) and the Orlando Regional Chamber of
Commerce. “Our goal is to recognize companies that strive to build
even better workplaces for their employees, thereby strengthening their own, as
well as Florida’s, competitive advantage in the national and global arenas,”
says Florida Trend Publisher Bruce Faulmann. “Peak 10’s dedication
to remaining well-versed on leading-edge technologies has benefited our
employees through career advancement opportunities and higher profile
recognition among their peers in the local technology community,” said Debra
Curtiss, vice president and general manager of Peak 10 Tampa. “Our employees’
passion and commitment to excellence resonates with each company we serve,
illustrating that we truly believe in partnering with our valued customers.”
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. “We’ve highlighted the practices of companies that have
established themselves as great places to work — including everything from how
they train their workers to how they communicate and the kind of pay and
benefits they provide. This is a great opportunity for companies in Florida to
learn from each other as they go about improving their own effectiveness,” says
Mark Howard, executive editor of Florida Trend. For a complete list
