CashStar Recognized as a Best Place to Work in Maine for Seventh Consecutive Year

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER)—Do you work in one of the best places to work in Maine? Each year, companies are ranked by the Maine State Council for Human Resource Management.

Basically, the council looks for companies that have outstanding work environments. There were apparently plenty in the state of Maine: 80 companies made the cut.

The honorees are divided into categories of small, medium and large, based on the number of employees. An awards ceremony was held Tuesday night at the Augusta Civic Center.

So, how exactly do they arrive at the rankings? The council looks at things like employee benefits, workplace policies, and how satisfied workers say they are.

The hope, of course, is to encourage other companies to improve their workplace culture so they can join the ranks.

Here’s the full list of rankings from the Best Places to Work in Maine for 2017.
