Even in a tough economy, there are still some great places to work in our community. In an effort to recognize those organizations that are not only thriving, but still offer a great place to work for their employees, Workforce Solutions with support from Indian River Chamber of Commerce, Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce and the Treasure Coast Human Resource Association, recognized twelve Indian River companies.
"We are proud to recognize these outstanding companies in this challenging economy," President/CEO of Workforce Solutions Richard Stetson said. "Their ability to focus on being a great place to work speaks volumes on valuing employees and providing a productive work environment."
