RELEASE: Portland, ME, Aug 18, 2011 - Kepware Technologies was recently named as one of the 2011 Best Places to Work in Maine. The awards program was created in 2006 and is a project of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) — Maine State Council and Best Companies Group. Partners endorsing the program include: Employment Times, the Maine State Chamber of Commerce and Mainebiz.
This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Maine, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2011 Best Places to Work in Maine list is made up of 40 companies in two size categories: small/medium (15-249 U.S. employees) and large (250+ U.S. employees). Kepware Technologies has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Maine in the small/medium category with over 50 employees.
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
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 ranking. 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.
"We have worked hard to create a culture which stimulates team collaboration. Our employees come together to understand real world engineering problems, for which we develop, market and sell solutions," said Tony Paine, President of Kepware Technologies. "It is very fulfilling for all of us when we are able to provide our customer with the tools they need to be successful in their domains. The continued cycle of challenges and solutions, has made our organization an exciting and rewarding place for our employees to work."
