Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty was named one of Florida’s Best Companies To Work For by Florida Trend magazine. This is the fourth consecutive year the real estate company has received the honor.

“Our company is known for creating a dynamic workplace culture of excellence, innovation and service that supports personal and professional growth,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty President Ann King. “When people are thriving and enjoying what they do, it does not feel like work — it feels like we are creating something bigger together.

The annual Best Companies To Work For In Florida list, featured in the August issue of Florida Trend magazine, ranks companies in small, medium, and large employer categories. 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.

“Our annual ‘Best Companies to Work For In Florida’ program is a reminder that great workplaces don’t happen by accident,” says Florida Trend Executive Editor Amy Keller. “The companies that stand out are intentional about investing in their people, creating opportunities for them to grow and building environments where employees want to be.”

“Standing out from their competition… this year’s group of Best Companies To Work For In Florida set a path forward for others to follow,” says Florida Trend President and Publisher David Denor. “Enterprising in their industries – these creative and inspiring companies recruit, retain and deliver distinctive workplace environments and employee benefits plans to keep their teams engaged, involved and constantly collaborating.”

The Best Companies To Work For In Florida program is managed by Florida Trend and Workforce Research Group and is endorsed by the HR Florida State Council. Workforce Research Group managed the registration, survey and analysis and determined the final rankings.

In addition to the Florida Trend honors, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty has been recognized for multiple years as one of the “Best Places to Work on the First Coast” by the Jacksonville Business Journal.
