Best Places to Work in Maine is a survey competition to determine which participants are the best employers, managed by Best Companies Group, an independent research firm specializing in identifying and recognizing great workplaces.

The program identifies and honors the best employers across three categories: small companies (15–49 employees), medium companies (50–249 employees), and large companies (250 or more employees). To be considered, companies must meet criteria such as having a facility in Maine and employing at least 15 people.

The combined scores determine the final rankings.
