Union Mutual Earns Ninth Consecutive Best Places to Work Honor

MONTPELIER – Union Mutual Insurance Company announced today that it was recently named one of the 2022 Best Places to Work in Vermont. This is the ninth consecutive year that the Company has received this award, which is based in part on anonymous employee surveys.

“We are very proud of our outstanding company culture and we know that a strong culture supports our mission and values,” Union Mutual President & CEO Lisa Keysar said. “Thank you to all of our employees for the continued vote of confidence in our Company and the acknowledgement of the efforts we make to provide an amazing place to work.”

The 16th annual list of the Best Places to Work in Vermont was created by Vermont Business Magazine, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the Vermont Department of Economic Development, the Vermont Department of Labor, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) – Vermont State Council and Best Companies Group.

This statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Vermont, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2022 Best Places to Work in Vermont list is made up of 50 companies.

To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:

– Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business or government entity;

– Be a publicly or privately held business;

– Have a facility in the state of Vermont;

– Have at least 15 employees working in the state of Vermont; and

Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Vermont.

The second part consisted of an anonymous employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 80% of the total evaluation. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Vermont and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
