We’re proud to announce that we’ve recently been named one of Tampa Bay’s Top Workplaces 2017 by the Tampa Bay Times!

This is Greystone’s third consecutive year being named and seventh year in total. Previously ranking at #47 in small businesses, we’ve taken a significant jump to #17 in mid-size businesses.

“This recognition serves as testament to Greystone’s stability and strength as a desirable top workplace in the Tampa Bay area,” CEO Connie Bessler said. “The amazing responses we received are attributable to the passionate and supportive culture our team has helped to build and which serves as the cornerstone for our organization.   I could not be more proud of this amazing accomplishment.”

We were nominated by our own employees! We were then surveyed about several topics, including practices and policies that make the company a top place to work. In the Tampa Bay region, nearly 180 leading employers were nominated by their employees. To be considered for participation, companies or government entities had to employ at least 50 workers in Florida and be at least a year old. Then the companies were ranked based on leadership, compensation and training, workplace flexibility, and diversity.

“These reports are illuminating because they delve into what makes employees both happy and productive,” said Times Business Editor Jeff Harrington. “It’s no surprise to find a correlation between a positive, supportive workplace and a successful business. In fact, many of the companies that scored highest in employee satisfaction are among the fastest-growing in Tampa Bay.”
