Connected Nation Again Among Best Places to Work in Kentucky
Nonprofit makes winner’s list in consecutive years
LEXINGTON, KY – For the second year running, Connected Nation, a leading national nonprofit technology services organization, has been selected as one of the best places to work in Kentucky.
The honor was announced today by the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management in conjunction with the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.
Connected Nation, with a footprint that spans more than 30 states and territories from Alaska to Puerto Rico, manages programs that help communities take advantage of the economic opportunities afforded by broadband. With its core operations in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Connected Nation was named one of the “Top 28 Best Places to Work in Kentucky” in the small/medium-sized employer category (those employing 25-249 U.S. employees).
“These consecutive awards affirm our belief that the talent of our employees and a positive corporate culture that recognizes their efforts pays dividends,” said Connected Nation President and COO Tom Ferree. “We continuously strive to attract and retain great people because we know that their success and growth is vital to our mission of empowering people through technology.”
Connected Nation has employees across the nation working with public and private stakeholders to expand broadband access, adoption, and use. The award is based in part from surveys of the Connected Nation employees based in Kentucky.
“Our policies are based on providing not only great service for our clients, but also a rewarding work environment where our employees thrive,” said Tracie Rotermann, Connected Nation’s human resources manager.
The selection process, managed by Best Companies 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. The Best Places to Work in Kentucky initiative is based on FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work for in America” list.
Connected Nation was ranked number 8 in the final 2011 rankings, the second highest ranking ever for a first-time winner.
Connected Nation will be honored along with the other winners at the Best Places to Work in Kentucky 8th Annual Awards Dinner at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville on Thursday, April 19, where the final rankings will be announced.
