City of Port Lucie issued the following announcement on Oct. 29

The City of Port St. Lucie was recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work” in St. Lucie County – the thirteenth year the City has earned this prestigious honor.

Port St. Lucie Human Resources staff accepted the award on behalf of the City at the 19th Annual St. Lucie County “Best Places to Work” Awards.

“If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that complacency is not an option and resiliency is key as we anticipate and meet the changing needs of our workforce and organization as a whole,” said Assistant Human Resources Director Natalie Cabrera. “Our employees are the organization’s greatest asset and the driving force of all that we do in HR as we continue to implement the City’s organizational vision of a high-performing government organization.”

The St. Lucie County Human Resource Association commissioned Personnel Dynamics Consulting of Fort Pierce to calculate turnover rates, growth percentages, employee development spending, promotion percentages, insurance packages and retirement plans; a total of 37 different measurements to determine the St. Lucie County’s Best Places to Work.

This program is free to all St. Lucie County employers. Participating companies were required to answer a 40-question survey about their organization.

The City of Port St. Lucie was one of 12 employers in St. Lucie County who were honored with this award this year. The St. Lucie County Human Resource Association cited these reasons the City, with 1,073 employees, is considered one of the county’s Best Places to Work:
