2 I am proud to honor Pennsylvania s Top 100 Best Places to Work. These are companies that exemplify what it takes to create a work environment brimming with opportunities for innovation, employee growth, and satisfaction, said Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary George Cornelius. "This year s winners prove that great work environments and profitability can go hand in hand. The Best Places to Work in PA includes two groups of 50 companies: medium-sized firms with employees and large-sized companies with 251 employees or more. Through research, a survey is sent to employers and employees from hundreds of companies in the commonwealth. Using a formula similar to Fortune s 100 Best Companies to Work for in America, the Best Companies Group scores the workplace practices survey along with the employee survey and each Best Places to Work candidate is given an overall score. To be eligible, participating companies must: Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business; Be a publicly or privately held business; Have a facility in Pennsylvania; Have at least 25 employees in Pennsylvania; and Be in good standing with all commonwealth agencies under the Governor s jurisdiction. "We recognize companies during this event that strive for and create a positive and rewarding work environment through innovative practices," said David A. Schankweiler, publisher, Central Penn Business Journal. "By recognizing these outstanding companies, we are promoting Pennsylvania as a leader in the international business community." Winners will be highlighted in a special newspaper supplement produced by the Central Penn Business Journal that will be distributed statewide this week. ### Large-Sized Companies (251+) PENNSYLVANIA S 100 BEST PLACES TO WORK 50 medium-sized and 50 large-sized companies Rank Company City 1 Glatfelter Insurance Group York 2 Edward Jones Selinsgrove 3 East Penn Mfg Co., Inc.
