The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management (KYSHRM) and CHI Saint Joseph Health recently announced the 100 companies that made the 21st Annual Best Places to Work in Kentucky list, including a few businesses with local ties, such as Corbin’s Grace Health, Saint Joseph London and L&N Federal Credit Union, which has offices in Corbin.
The winner rankings will be announced at the awards dinner on May 22 at the Central Bank Center in Lexington.
Winners from across the state have been selected in three categories: small companies of 15-149 employees, medium companies of 150-499 employees and large companies consisting of more than 500 employees (categories based on number of U.S. employees, only Kentucky employees surveyed).
Grace Health and L&N Federal Credit Union were named in the medium category while Saint Joseph London was named in the large category.
The selection process, managed by Workforce Research Group, is based on an assessment of the company’s employee policies and procedures and the results of an internal employee survey.
The competition is a multi-year initiative designed to motivate companies in the Commonwealth to focus, measure and move their workplace environments toward excellence. Numerous studies show a strong correlation between profitability and creating a good place to work.
