AUGUSTA — The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) has announced that 40 companies have been named in the sixth annual Best Places to Work in Maine program.
From this list, all companies in each category will find out how they ranked at an awards banquet Oct. 11 at the Ramada Conference Center in Lewiston.
The 2011 Best Places to Work in Maine program recognizes companies that have established and consistently fostered outstanding workplace environments. Partners endorsing the program include: Best Companies Group, the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, Employment Times/MyJobWave.com and Mainebiz.
Among the honorees is MMG Insurance of Presque Isle.
The assessment process, administered by the Best Companies Group, evaluated each company’s employee policies and procedures as well as responses from the company’s employees. The program marks the most recent step in a long-term initiative to encourage growth and excellence throughout all Maine companies.
The program also helps companies that want to improve their score. The Best Companies Group “Employee Feedback Report” is presented to each participating company, even if it did not make the list. The report summarizes employee engagement and satisfaction data, the “Maine Benchmark Report,” and the transcript of employee written comments. The report is used by many organizations to make significant improvements in their workplace culture.
Sponsorship opportunities at the Oct. 11 awards banquet are still available. Contact Kelly Nelson at 784-5441 or Jessica Palladino at 396-7645 for more information.
