The envelope, please: Rankings released for Maine's Best Places to Work
By Staff
A bank headquartered in the state’s midcoast region, a Bangor nonprofit and a Portland insurance firm all took top honors in the annual Best Places to Work in Maine competition, whose winners were named Monday.
The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resources Management last month named a total of 84 employers to the 15th annual list, but had not previously announced their rankings.
Employers are ranked in order of the highest scores in the evaluation process. (See list below.)
The Best Places to Work in Maine list is intended to encourage excellence in Maine employers and recognizes those that have established and consistently fostered outstanding workplace environments. The organization that manages the program, Best Companies Group, selects the recipients based on information gathered from all applicants, including employee benefits, workplace policies and employee responses to a satisfaction survey.
Participating companies receive an employee feedback report in an effort to help them improve their scores. The report summarizes employee engagement and satisfaction data and includes employees’ written comments. Organizations often use the report to make improvements in their workplace cultures.
The field of companies and organizations making the list was slightly smaller this year than in 2019, when 100 employers were on the roster, the most ever.
In response to changes spurred by the pandemic, this year's survey included questions designed to collect feedback from employees working at home. And unlike in past years, the Best Places program did not hold a live event to celebrate the winners.
Endorsing partners of Best Places to Work program include the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, the Maine HR Convention and Mainebiz. Sponsors include KMA Consulting, Clark Insurance and Allagash Brewing Co.
