    CORONA, CA, December 06, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Inland News Group has named Pardee Homes the 2018 midsize company winner of its fifth annual Top Workplace competition.

The large company winner for 2018 was the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center, which claimed its second top honor in two years, and the small company winner was Brookside Healthcare Center in Redlands.

"It's truly an honor to receive this recognition from the Inland News Group and know that it was employees that chose the winners," said Mike Taylor. "We strive to treat all of our employees with respect, kindness and empathy. Our focus across the board is on people. We want to make sure our people have the best tools, resources and training. As for new hires, we specifically look for attitude and work ethic, and have found that culture contributors assimilate well with our team philosophy."

Taylor was pleased to add that it's not all about work at their Corona headquarters. The company offers outlets for fun and wellness with parties and outings, and honors individuals who go above and beyond the norm with anniversary celebrations.
