HOUSTON (May 28, 2009) - HCSS, a soon-to-be Sugar Land based business, joins Fluor as one of the two Sugar Land-based companies to receive the prestigious HR Houston IMPACT Award in a presentation at the Reliant Center on Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Created to raise awareness of excellence in human resource programs and practices in the Greater Houston area, HR Houston’s IMPACT Award recognizes HR workgroups that have created significant business value for their organizations.

HCSS won the award in the Small Company category, which is designed for companies with 1000 employees or less, and Fluor won three of the remaining six awards in the categories of Communication Integrity, Diversity Excellence, and Recruiting and Retention.

“Our organization focuses on ownership for 100 percent of employees, across the board cash profit-sharing for every employee (18 percent of salary in 2008), wellness, leadership, and learning as the cornerstones of building our successful business. During the past two years, we have achieved less than 3 percent annual turnover, and ranked number five on the 2009 Best Companies to Work for in Texas list,” said Sebabi Leballo, Organizational Development Manager at HCSS.

“We're really excited about our upcoming move to Sugar Land,” said Mike Rydin, HCSS President and CEO. “One of our goals is to create the perfect work environment, and receiving the Small Company HR award shows that we are making very good progress towards creating one of the best places to work in Texas. This is a great honor.”

HCSS is a software development company joining the Sugar Land community in August 2009 with a 45,000 square foot facility equipped to grow the company from currently 105 to 220 employees within 5 years. The new campus headquarters, located at West Airport and Eldridge is currently under construction by Rosenberger Construction, also a Sugar Land company.
