Bernstein Shur, one of northern New England’s largest law firms, has been selected as one of 40 Best Places to Work in Maine and is the only law firm in Maine to be honored with that designation.
The Best Places to Work in Maine program is a statewide survey and awards initiative that recognizes companies that have consistently fostered outstanding workplace environments. Now in its fifth year, the program is endorsed by the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, the Maine State Council and the Maine Society for Human Resource Management.
Companies throughout the state entered a two-part process administered by Best Companies Group (BCG) in Harrisburg, PA to be considered for this honor. The assessment process evaluates employee survey responses as well as employee policies and procedures. The resulting data collected enables BCG analysts to determine the strengths and opportunities of the participating companies.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of the best places to work in Maine, but more importantly, we are proud that our employees are happy to be part of our organization,” said Charles E. Miller, the firm’s Managing Shareholder. “At Bernstein Shur, we encourage an atmosphere that recognizes the importance of each individual, supporting both professional success and personal fulfillment. Our firm’s culture places high value on the use of employee feedback to continually improve our workplace environment and opportunities.”
The list and ranking of 40 Best Places to Work in Maine will be formally announced at an awards gala on October 12.
