Workers nominate top-grade places
Council will pick winners in October
AUGUSTA — The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resources Management (MESHRM) has announced finalists in the 11th annual “Best Places to Work in Maine” program.
The 2016 Best Places to Work in Maine list recognizes companies that have established and consistently fostered outstanding workplace environments. In June, the program manager, Best Companies Group, gathered information from all nominees including; employee benefits, workplace policies and employee responses to a comprehensive satisfaction survey. This data is used to determine one winner in each business category.
The program is part of a long-term initiative to encourage growth and excellence throughout all Maine companies.
All participating companies receive an “Employee Feedback Report” in an effort to help Maine businesses improve their scores. The report summarizes employee engagement, satisfaction data and includes the transcript of employees’ written comments. The report is used by many organizations to make significant improvements in their workplace culture.
The top 10 winners from each category will be revealed in ranked order at an awards banquet on October 4 and will receive a feature story in Mainebiz.
