WATERVILLE—HealthReach Community Health Centers was recently named
as one of the 2020 Best Places to Work in Maine. The award program was created
in 2006 and is a project of the Society for Human Resource Management—Maine
State Council (MESHRM) and Best Companies Group. Partners endorsing the program
include: Mainebiz, Maine State
Chamber of Commerce and the Maine HR Convention.
“It is a privilege for our organization to receive the designation
as one of the Best Places to Work in Maine,” said Connie Coggins, President/CEO
of HealthReach. “The teamwork and dedication of our staff members has really
made a difference as we’ve cared for patients in our communities during an
extremely challenging time. We are fortunate to have such a committed team.”
This statewide survey and award program was designed to identify,
recognize and honor the best places of employment in Maine, benefitting the
state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2020 Best Places to Work in
Maine list is made up of 84 companies in three size categories: small (15—49
employees), medium (50—249 employees) and large (250+).
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the
following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least 15 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
- Must be in business a minimum of one
year.
Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to
determine the Best Places to Work in Maine. The first part consisted of
evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and
demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total
evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the
employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of
the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and
final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and
survey process in Maine and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to
determine the final rankings.
