Port St. Lucie wins Best Place to Work Award for Fifth Straight Year

Nov 2, 2007

For the fifth straight year, the City of Port St. Lucie has earned the Best Place to Work award from the St. Lucie County Human Resource Association, which says the city provides a top-notch work environment for city employees.

The award is given to local employers whose personnel practices are considered to be the best in the county. Employers are evaluated based on the number of employees, and with more than 1,100 workers, Port St. Lucie is considered a leader in establishing a professional working environment.

Vice Mayor Jack Kelly accepted the award on behalf of the city and said the award assures the public that the city tries to find and keep the most qualified people available for the many diverse jobs in city government.

As part of a worldwide association of human resource managers, the St. Lucie County Human Resources Association has been awarded for the success of its "Best Places to Work" program, which is considered a model on how to get a community interested in workplace issues and practices, according to HR Florida Review, a trade publication for human resource managers.
