The “Best Cannabis Companies to Work For – Cultivation and Dispensary” programs launched in February 2020. For the fourth consecutive year, Cannabis Business Times, in collaboration with third party research company Best Companies Group, has recognized licensed companies that grow and sell cannabis in medical and adult-use programs that have created companies where their employees feel motivated and valued. “The Best Cannabis Companies to Work For” programs were open to applicants from cannabis cultivation and dispensary operations in North America that have at least 15 full- and/or part-time permanent employees.
Applying companies were required to complete an Employer Benefits and Policies Questionnaire, where executives reported the benefits the company offers, comprising 25% of each company’s overall score. Companies also encouraged their teams to complete the Employee Engagement & Satisfaction Survey, in which employees anonymously shared how they feel about their companies communications, leadership, pay, safety and more, which comprised 75% of each company’s score. A minimum of 40% of a company’s employees from larger companies and 80% of companies with 15 to 24 employees had to complete the employee survey to qualify. Companies who ranked on the list had to have an engagement score of at least 80% to rank as a “Best Cannabis Company to Work For.” Those who did not rank did not meet those qualifications.
