Coastal Cloud, a provider of consulting, implementation and managed services, has been included in Florida Trend’s annual list of Best Companies to Work For once again.
For the fifth year in a row, Coastal Cloud has been named to Florida Trend’s annual list of Best Companies to Work For. The full list ranks companies in small, medium, and large employer categories and will be featured in the August issue of Florida Trend Magazine.
“State-wide recognition for employee satisfaction honors the culture we were founded on,” said Sara Hale, co-founder of Coastal Cloud. “The happiness of our workforce has been a key indicator for our company’s success since day one.”
Long before the pandemic, Coastal Cloud’s culture was based on flexibility and quality of life, which has promoted diversity among staff because it attracts employees that vary in life stage, race, gender, geography, industry and overall life experience. This diversity fosters an extremely accepting culture and contributes to creative problem solving and adaptive communication skills.
To identify Florida’s best employers, Florida Trend partnered with the Best Companies Group, which surveyed firms that chose to participate. Any firm with at least 15 employees in Florida, including firms based outside the state, could participate at no cost.
“It was interesting to see how the Best Companies plan to operate, going forward, as the pandemic’s threat wanes,” says Executive Editor Mark Howard. “Many of our Best Companies are ‘high-touch’ companies that rely on collaboration among their employees and/or face-to-face contact with their clients. And most indicated that they intended to return to traditional in-office operations. But it’s also clear that many have found that the company’s performance didn’t suffer greatly with employees working from home. Most firms indicated they’re willing to give employees more flexibility in being able to work at home at least some of the time.”
