Westgate Recognized by Orlando Business Journal as One of Orlando’s Best Places to Work

The Orlando Business Journal has recognized Westgate Resorts as a “Best Place to Work” finalist in its annual survey which considers, among other things, questionnaires submitted by employees working in eligible companies throughout the Central Florida area.

The questions on the survey cover a wide range of issues including job satisfaction, benefits, overall work environment, and teamwork issues that face employees in the workplace. Individual employees, not industry experts, are responsible for selecting the nominees for this prestigious award – making it a veritable “people’s choice” award. All nominees are scored on a scale from 1-10, on a set of 10 engagement categories with a total of 37 questions. Eligible companies are sorted by their overall size into five distinct categories – small, medium, large, giant, and mega.

“We’re thrilled to receive this nomination,” stated David Siegel, President and CEO of Westgate Resorts, “The OBJ is a premier magazine for the business community and this award is another step toward our goal to provide unequalled excellence in the timeshare industry.”

The June 13^th edition of the Orlando Business Journal will feature a full-length feature detailing Westgate, along with other winners. The profiles will go into full detail about the individual companies, how they are perceived by the employees who voted, their overall ranking in each individual category, as well as an overall score.

Last year, the awards nomination process saw over 130 companies enter into the competition. The list was eventually cut down to a group of 25 winners. The surveys utilized in that competition consisted of over 4,700 employees throughout the Central Florida region.

“What makes this award so special is that it was based on a survey of our team members,” stated Siegel. “We place great emphasis on making sure our team members understand their importance to our company’s success because they are the ones that create lasting vacation memories for our guests.”
