Maine SHRM, Best Companies Group and BridgeTower Media Announce 2024 Best Places to Work in Maine


The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group and BridgeTower Media have named CWS Architecture + Interior Design 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.


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.


The final rankings will be announced at the October 7th awards celebration in Augusta, ME.
