skillstorm wins best places to work in south florida
award for second year in a row
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
(March 2, 2009) – SkillStorm, the
industry’s fastest-growing staff augmentation and outsourcing company providing
project management, engineering and Information Technology solutions, has been
named one of South Florida’s “Best Places to Work” by the South Florida Business Journal.
This award, bestowed upon SkillStorm for two consecutive years,
recognizes the company's achievements in creating a positive work environment
that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee
satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.
“We
are elated to have won the Best Places to Work in South Florida award for the
second year in a row,” said SkillStorm CEO Vince Virga. “At SkillStorm, we believe that our employees
are our most valuable asset, so we want to do
everything we can to reward them. We
work hard and play hard and want to ensure everyone also has fun together
outside of the office – from go-kart racing to attending a hockey game.”
Companies
were evaluated on the results of employee satisfaction surveys. SkillStorm offers amazing incentives that
keep employees motivated and eager to contribute to the company’s growth and
success, including vacations to Cabo San Lucas and Cancun, Mexico and an

company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievements, and
relationships with co-workers and supervisors.
SkillStorm received this honor because of the positive opinions of their
employees. SkillStorm employees feel
that the company is a great place to work because of its fun and rewarding
environment, excellent benefits, impressive employee development and recognition
programs, involvement of management in their well-being and SkillStorm’s family
environment.
