Hassett Ace Hardware named tops for work environment

California's Hassett Ace Hardware has been named a top workplace for the third consecutive year.

The store made it on The Bay Area News Group's Top Workplaces list again in 2015, where it was recognized for its work environment and customer service.

The placement is based on independent survey data of employees conducted by Workplace Dynamics, a research firm focused on employee engagement.

Hassett Hardware has been a family-owned and operated business since 1957.

It maintains five locations in the Bay Area: Half Moon Bay, Palo Alto, San Mateo, Redwood City and Willow Glen.

"It’s a tremendous honor for Hassett Ace Hardware to be recognized as a Top Workplace for three consecutive years,” said Eric Hassett, owner of Hassett Ace Hardware. “This recognition speaks to the culture our organization’s leaders have worked hard to build – an environment where employees feel that they have a voice, where they feel empowered to serve our customers in a positive way, and most importantly, a culture that makes Hassett Ace Hardware a rewarding place to work.”
