Unemployment Compensation: It’s An Uphill Battle To Establish Disqualification
Last week, we were elated to be honored by Vermont Business Magazine and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce as a Best Place to Work in Vermont! The awards ceremony took place at the Emerald Ballroom at the Doubletree Hotel on April 2, 2026.
This statewide survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best places of employment in Vermont, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce, and businesses. Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Vermont. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 20% 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 80% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
In total, only 65 companies for the entire state of Vermont were recognized. “The workspace for Vermont businesses has changed over the past several years due to Covid. Employees working remotely, hybrid working models and labor shortages have had a huge impact on Vermont businesses, but all Vermonters know that Vermont is a great place to live, work and play. We know that our employees are happy with their place of employment. The employers have created a work environment where the employees love to work. These employees and employers are committed to a productive workplace, be that while in the office or working remotely. This list is a testament to the fantastic companies here in Vermont. This list consists of businesses from every corner of Vermont with many diverse products and services”, states Katie Kittell, Publisher, VermontBiz.
