The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resources Management recently 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.
Locally, Damariscotta Bank & Trust in Damariscotta is one of the finalists named in the medium employer category, which includes businesses with 50-249 employees.
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 and 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 Tuesday, Oct. 4 and will receive a feature story in Mainebiz, at mainebiz.biz.
