Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- SkillStorm, a national technical and professional services firm, has been named one of Florida Trend’s Best Companies to Work For in Florida for the second consecutive year.

This list recognizes SkillStorm and 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 thrilled to be recognized on this list two years running, but you can’t have the best place to work without having the best team. Our Florida team has a devoted staff with principals that should not be taken lightly: honesty, integrity and loyalty are shown by all every day. Their work ethic is second to none and it is reflected in our company’s success,” said SkillStorm CEO Vince Virga.

One-hundred companies were recognized in small, mid-size and large company categories. The rankings appear in the August issue of Florida Trend magazine and on FloridaTrend.com. Companies 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.

SkillStorm offers amazing incentives that keep employees motivated and eager to contribute to the company’s growth and success, including vacations to Atlantis and Cabo San Lucas and an employee referral program. SkillStorm received this honor because of the positive opinions of their employees. For this award, employees answered questions that addressed such factors as their satisfaction in their jobs, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievements, training and benefits, work environment and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. SkillStorm employees feel that the company is a great place to work because of its fun and rewarding environment, excellent benefits, impressive employee career development and recognition programs, involvement of management in their well-being and family environment.

SkillStorm has received many highly regarded national and state awards. Most recently, the company’s CEO, Vince Virga, was recognized as one of the Top 50 Entrepreneurs by South Florida Business Leader Magazine.
