The Barnum Financial Group, with offices in Westport and 17 other locations statewide, was chosen as one of the 25 “Best Places to Work in Connecticut for 2010” by the Hartford Business Journal at its annual awards ceremony Thursday evening in Waterbury.
Barnum, located at 265 Post Road West, topped the list of the top five large companies, followed by Comcast Cable in Berlin, Yale-New Haven Hospital, the Henkel Corporation in Rocky Hill, and Robinson and Cole LLP in Hartford.
According to the HBJ, the listing was determined by an independent survey company, Best Companies Group, which works to identify and recognize companies “which have been successful in creating and maintaining workplace excellence.”
“Best Places to Work continues to be one of our most exciting events,” said Gail Lebert, HBJ publisher. “We are honored to celebrate these winning companies and aim to give them well-deserved recognition for their perseverance and drive in these times.”
Best Companies Group (BCG) was formed in January of 2004, with the purpose of identifying and recognizing best employers within a region and industry, according to the HBJ.
