Home Start is named one of San Diego's Best Places to Work

On May 20, 2009, the San Diego Business Journal hosted its annual "Best Places to Work" reception with hundreds of local companies in attendance. Home Start is happy to announce that is was named as one of the top 50 companies in San Diego.

"I am extremely proud of Home Start and all of the employees who work here" said Home Start's CEO, Laura Mustari.

The Best Places to Work program is open to all publicly or privately held organizations, both for-profit and not-for-profit. To be eligible for consideration companies must have a facility in San Diego and have at least 15 employees in the county.

After a company enters the program, it goes through a two-part survey process designed to pinpoint areas of strength and weakness. The assessment determines the eligibility for the 50 Best Places to Work in San Diego list. Best Companies Group manages the survey process and performs the evaluation of the collected data.

Three-fourths of each company's score comes from a confidential survey of employees that evaluates their workplace experience. In companies with less than 250 employers, all employees were asked to complete the survey. The remaining quarter of each company's score consisted of an employer survey that collected information about its benefits, policies and practices.
