Human Resources Director US, which offers news on the human resources profession, named Nevada County as one of the best places to the work with more than 500 employees in the United States in 2023.
Nevada County was one of only two organizations to get that honor. The other was Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
“The 2023 awardees of Human Resources Director US’ Best Places to Work are redefining what employee engagement and fulfillment look like in their respective industries,” according to an article on HRD’s website. “Through their unwavering commitment to employee well-being, work-life balance and career development these companies have triumphed over the past year’s persistent challenges, notably in attracting and retaining top talent.”
Winners were chosen based on an employer submission and employee survey. Employers had to complete an in-depth submission with questions looking at such factors as employee engagement, turnover rates, average tenure of staff, compensation and benefits, health and wellness programs, diversity initiatives, professional development, corporate culture, flexible work options, reward and recognition and green programs.
Companies that completed a submission were then sent a link to an online employee survey. A minimum of 50 employees had to respond to the survey for the 500-plus employee category. The employer needed to achieve an overall satisfaction of at least 75 percent to be recognized as a “best place to work.”
