VermontBiz and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce revealed the ranking of the top 65 Best Places to Work in Vermont 2025 at a ceremony on April 2 at the Hotel Champlain in Burlington, VT. There were over 535 people in attendance. “With Vermont’s tight labor market, businesses are finding it difficult to fill open positions. These businesses can say to perspective employees that their company has been chosen as a best place to work in Vermont. This will give them a leg up on recruitment,” said John Boutin, publisher, Vermontbiz.
The number 1 company in each category are:
Small (15-99 employees) – Northeastern Reproductive Medicine
Medium (100-249 employees) – New England Air Systems
Large (250+ employees) – Stantec Consulting Services
The awards program was created in 2006 and is presented in partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management, Vermont State Council, (SHRM), the Vermont Department of Economic Development and Workforce Research Group.
