Hartford Business Journal Ranks Comcast Second in Best Places to Work Contest

BERLIN, Conn., March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fourth year in a row, the Hartford Business Journal has recognized Comcast, the nation's leading provider of entertainment, information and communications, as one of the "Best Places to Work" in Connecticut. The company bested its number three ranking from the past two years and number five ranking from 2006 to win the second highest spot on this year's list.

"It is an honor to be named among the top places to work in Connecticut," said Doug Guthrie, Senior Vice President of Comcast's Western New England Region, which includes Connecticut. "This award really belongs to the 1,300 employees throughout the state whose daily enthusiasm, involvement and dedication have created the close-knit, family-like team culture that is rarely found in larger companies, and truly makes Comcast a great place to work."

The statewide survey and awards program was created by the Hartford Business Journal to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Connecticut. The Best Places to Work in Connecticut 2009 list is made up of 25 companies, split into two categories: 20 small/medium-sized companies (15-199 employees) and five large-sized companies (more than 200 employees). Comcast earned the second highest score in the large company category with Pepperidge Farm taking the number one spot.

Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Connecticut. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Connecticut, and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

With the continuing customer demand for Comcast's digital cable, high-speed Internet and digital voice services, the company has continued to grow its Connecticut workforce, currently employing over 1,300 people across the state.
