Chicago, IL — Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business have named New Home Star one of the Best Places to Work in PA. The annual awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group.
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data, and used their expertise to determine the final rankings. Two factors were used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, which was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which was 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
“One of our most cherished core values is to provide excellent careers for our people,” says Founder of New Home Star David Rice. “We value the success of our team members by providing support through mentorship, comprehensive resources, industry-leading tools, and an encouraging culture.”
Best Places to Work in PA identifies, recognizes, and honors the best places of employment in Pennsylvania in three categories: small employer (15-99 employees), medium employer (100- 249) and large employers (250 or more).
To be considered, companies must
- Be a publicly or privately held business
- Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity
- Have a facility in the state of Pennsylvania
- Have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Pennsylvania
- Be in business for a minimum of one year
