August 27, 2024

The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group and BridgeTower Media have named CedarWorks as one of the Best Places to Work in Maine.

 Best Places to Work in Maine identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Maine in three categories: small employer companies (15-49 U.S. employees), medium employer companies (50-249 U.S. employees) and large employer companies (250 or more U.S. employees). To be considered, companies must have at least 15 full-time or part-time employees working in Maine; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; be a publicly or privately held business; have a facility in the state of Maine; and be in business a minimum of one year. CedarWorks was included as one of the small employer companies.

 Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75 percent of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. CedarWorks last made the list in 2021.

The final rankings will be announced at an awards program October 8.

"The 2024 Best Places to Work in Maine have created workplaces that inspire success. They put their employees’ welfare first, creating a positive work environment for all,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media for the East Division. “BridgeTower Media joins the Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management and the Best Companies Group in recognizing these stellar organizations."
