AUGUSTA, Maine – The Maine Council on Aging has awarded the State of Maine its 2024 Business Excellence Award. This honor recognizes Maine’s efforts to support a diverse, multi-generational workforce and value older workers.
This is the second major employer award for Maine recently. Forbes also named Maine one of the best large employers in the state for the fourth year in a row.
These awards highlight the Mills Administration’s work to improve wages and benefits, making Maine a more competitive and inclusive employer.
Kirsten Figueroa, Commissioner of the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, said the recognition shows Maine’s commitment to being an employer of choice. She encouraged Mainers to consider public service as a rewarding career.
Maine is now the second state to become a certified Age-Friendly Employer.
