HomeServe USA (HomeServe), a leading provider of home repair solutions, today announced it has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by Hearst Media Services.

HomeServe provides homeowners with protection from the unexpected costs and inconvenience associated with plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical repairs through cost-effective home emergency repair service plans. The Company partners with over 400 cities, municipalities, utilities and associations to deliver best-in-class services to more than 2.7 million customers across the continental U.S. and in Canada. Headquartered in the Merritt 7 complex in Norwalk, CT, HomeServe has more than 230 CT-based employees and nearly 850 employees company-wide.

For employees, HomeServe continues to maintain a positive and collaborative workplace, defined by a culture of teamwork, commitment to excellence and pride in the Company’s work and accomplishments. Professional development opportunities, ongoing team-building activities and employee-driven philanthropic programs help HomeServe create an environment that cultivates talent while empowering team members. These elements, along with HomeServe’s core values, make for a motivated employee base – which in turn benefits the business as a whole.

“We are proud to be named one of the Top Workplaces in Connecticut for the third consecutive year,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe USA. “This award is representative of our efforts to create a workplace environment where employees learn, grow and get as much back from their work as they give in. Our team has always been the most valuable asset that has been, and will continue to be, key to HomeServe’s success.”

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
