With more than 600 employees at 60 work locations in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, Camden National Bank is a full-service, award-winning community bank. In 2021, the bank’s employee engagement survey saw the highest score since its inception in 2014. With workplaces changing following the pandemic, the bank has maintained a high level of engagement, while providing a hybrid work environment that gives employees the flexibility to work from home and in the office.

“We choose to participate in surveys like the Best Places to Work in Maine, because it’s another listening channel that lets us learn from our employees,” said Heather Robinson, executive vice president, chief human resources officer. “In the last year, we’ve rolled out additional paid parental leave, offered companywide leadership conferences on diversity, equality and inclusion, and continued offering a flexible hybrid work environment, which was all driven from employee feedback.”
