LEWISTON — Community Health Options, a nonprofit member-led health plan that provies health insurance benefits for individuals, families and businesses, has been named one of the 2017 Best Places to Work in Maine.
The statewide awards program is designed to identify the best places of employment in Maine that benefit the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses.
The 2017 list is made up of 80 companies in three categories: small (15-49 U.S. employees), medium (50-249 U.S. employees) and large (250-plus employees). Community Health Options was named among the Best Places to Work in Maine in the medium company category.
“Our people are phenomenal. They are committed, passionate, and work together to create a culture of respect, transparency, and engagement,” said Joyce McPhetres, chief human resources officer. “Our mission ‘to partner locally with members, businesses, and health professionals to provide affordable, high-quality benefits that promote health and well-being,’ serves as the very meaningful foundation of our work.
“We are honored to be once again named as one of the Best Places to Work in Maine,” said Kevin Lewis, CEO of Community Health Options. “Since our inception we have worked to create a mission-centered culture that supports the wellbeing of our People. We, in turn, serve our Members with caring and respect. In accepting this recognition we celebrate the incredible team of people who make Health Options an exceptional place to work.”
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. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience.
Community Health Options will be recognized at the Best Places to Work in Maine awards ceremony on Oct. 10. The final rankings will be announced at the event.
