Our partners at Frederick County Workforce Services (FCWS) are dedicated to linking businesses in need of qualified employees with individuals seeking employment opportunities. The FCWS Business Team works closely with local companies on job postings and promotion, recruitment and retention solutions, pipeline development, training programs, labor market information, and workforce education.
Five Frederick area businesses were recognized for the 2021 Annual Best Places to Work awards on August 3. More than 100 nominations were submitted, and 5 companies rose to the top with unique twists on remote working, employee training and recognition, employee compensation and benefits, business culture, human resource metrics, special employee engagement programs, and special efforts as we manage the new ‘normal’ of work.
Not all careers start in a college classroom. Many Frederick employers offer opportunities for entry-level workers with no related work experience or education. Through on-the-job training, certifications, and mentorship programs, these employers offer not just a job, but also access to a fulfilling career pathway.
For nearly two decades, the Frederick County Best Places to Work Awards have recognized the businesses and organizations that make our community so special. From offering exceptional benefits, to accommodating family needs, to providing fun perks for employees, these employers stand out from the rest for the workplace environment they provide.
Our Partner Spotlight for this month showcases the Frederick chapter of SHRM or Society for Human Resource Management; they are 158 members strong, representing 120 Frederick businesses.
