Tampa-based HomeBanc Makes 100 Best Companies List Second Year in a Row
TAMPA, Fla., July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa-based HomeBanc N.A. announces it has been named one of Florida Trend magazine's 2013 Best Companies to Work for in Florida and the top rated bank on the list for the second year in a row. The fifth annual statewide Best Companies list appears in the August issue of Florida Trend magazine and on FloridaTrend.com. One hundred companies were recognized in small, medium and large company categories.
"While HomeBanc has opened several new branches during the past year, we continue to instill the same set of values and guiding principles with which we started the Company, including the Golden Rule of treating people and fellow employees as you would like to be treated," said Jerry Campbell, Chairman, President and CEO. "Our goal is to be known in the markets we serve as a Great Place to Work and a Great Place to Bank, and the Florida Trend magazine recognition again this year reinforces our commitment to these communities and to our employees."
"Our Best Companies coverage this year is simple and direct: We went to the employees of the Best Companies To Work For and asked them to tell us what they like most about working where they work," says Mark Howard, executive editor. "The responses are illuminating. Some of them highlight innovative perks, benefits and incentives, while others reveal how these top companies communicate effectively with their employees and empower every worker to make decisions. We hope these ideas are instructive for other companies that are looking to create a Best Companies-type workplace."
"A happier staff is one that is engaged with the company, its products, and its objectives," says Florida Trend Publisher Andy Corty. "Those are the type of employees who carry the message out to clients and help the company grow. It's our pleasure to recognize those great companies and encourage others to join them in building Florida's competitive advantage."
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. To be considered for participation, 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.
HomeBanc N.A. has received a 5 Star "Superior" rating from BauerFinancial, Inc.; is ranked one of the Best Companies to Work for in Florida by the Tampa Bay Times; and was named the #2 bank headquartered in Florida for 7(a) SBA lending by the Small Business Administration.
