HOUSTON (Nov. 12, 2008) - Jetstream of Houston, manufacturer of high-quality waterblasters, parts and accessories, was recently named as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Texas 2009. The company was awarded the honor by Texas Monthly magazine, the Texas Association of Business (TAB), the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management (TSC-SHRM) and Best Companies Group as part of a statewide initiative to find and recognize the 100 best employers in Texas. Jetstream will be recognized and honored at the Best Companies to Work for in Texas awards ceremony on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2009, at the Texas Association of Business 2009 Annual Conference.

To be considered for participation, Jetstream had to fulfill several initial eligibility requirements, including having at least 15 employees in Texas, being a publicly or privately held business, having a facility in the state of Texas and being in business a minimum of one year. Once these eligibility requirements were established, Jetstream participated in a detailed selection process along with several other companies.
The selection process, conducted by Best Companies Group, consisted of an assessment of Jetstream's workplace policies, practices, and demographics, as well as the results of an employee survey to measure the company's employee experience. The combined scores of the assessment and the survey determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
