Classic Residence by Hyatt, the leading provider of luxury living for older adults, announces its Hilton Head Island and Scottsdale communities were both recently named one of the “Best Places to Work” in their respective locations.  

TidePointe, A Classic Residence by Hyatt (Hilton Head Island) was recently named as one of the 2007 Best Places to Work in South Carolina. This survey and award program, created by SCBIZ in partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)—South Carolina State Council, the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, SCJobnetwork.com, and Best Companies Group, was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the top employers in South Carolina, benefiting the state's economy, workforce, and businesses.

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in South Carolina. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated 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.
