INPEACE
was recently named as one of the 2010
Best
Places to Work in Hawai‘i. The list of “Best Places to Work” is sponsored
by ProService Hawai‘i and published annually by
Hawai‘i Business magazine. As in previous years, the company
data are gathered and analyzed by an independent research organization,
the Best Companies Group, which conducts similar research in states throughout
the nation.
INPEACE
is committed to improving the quality of life for Native Hawaiians through
community partnerships that provide educational opportunities and promote
self-sufficiency. This same philosophy
is extended to their dedicated employees for without them, none of these
programs would be possible.
“Our
employees are the cornerstone of what makes us a strong provider of programs
and services benefiting the Native Hawaiian community throughout our state,”
shares Dr. Kanoelani Nāone, INPEACE’s Chief Executive Officer.
The list of “Best Places to Work”
survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best
places of employment in Hawai‘i, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce
and businesses. The Best Places to Work
in Hawai‘i list is made up of a total of 60 companies, split into three
groups: 25 small- companies (25-49 employees), 18 medium companies (50-149
employees) and 17 large companies (150 or more employees). INPEACE has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Hawai‘i in the
medium category.
To be considered for participation,
companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have a facility in the state of Hawai‘i;
- Have a minimum of 25 employees working in Hawai‘i;
- Must be in business for a minimum of 1 year.
Companies from across the state
entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Hawai‘i. The first part consisted of
evaluating each participating company's workplace policies, practices,
philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee
survey to measure the employee experience. 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.
