The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resources Management has announced the winners in the 14th annual “Best Places to Work in Maine” program, and this year’s list comprises 100 businesses, the most ever.

The Best Places to Work in Maine list recognizes companies that have established and consistently fostered outstanding workplace environments. The organization that manages the program, Best Companies Group, gathered information from all registered organizations including employee benefits, workplace policies and employee responses to a comprehensive 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. The report is used by many organizations to make significant improvements in their workplace culture.
