The 2022 Best Places to Work in Maine list is made up of 100 companies in three size categories: 34 small winners (15-49 U.S. employees), 45 medium winners (50-249 U.S. employees) and 21 large winners (250+ U.S. employees). Hammond is one of the 21 winners in the large employer category.
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 the final rankings.
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Maine and analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
Hammond Lumber Company will be recognized in the October 17th edition of Mainebiz magazine where the full rankings will be revealed.
The Best Places to Work in Maine awards program is a project of the Society for Human Resource Management – Maine State Council (MESHRM) and Best Companies
Group. Partners endorsing the program include Mainebiz, the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, and the Maine HR Convention.
