Gaia Herbs has been recognized as a 2021 Best Employer in North Carolina by Business North Carolina and Best Companies Group.
This awards program identifies, recognizes, and honors the best employers in North Carolina that benefit the economy, workforce, and businesses in the state. Employers were evaluated on workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. Additionally, employees at each company were given a survey to measure employee experience on a day-to-day basis. The combined scores were used to determine the top companies and the final rankings.
Gaia Herbs stated it is proud to be ranked among 56 other renowned and respected companies in North Carolina. The 2021 award winners include esteemed companies such as Mackenzie Ryan and Blackman & Sloop, as well as other well-regarded brands from a variety of industries.
“We are honored to be recognized, along with some of the finest companies in North Carolina, for our employee record as a top-rated work environment,” said Jim Geikie, chief executive officer of Gaia Herbs. “As a certified benefit corporation, our employment policies, practices and culture sit alongside our sustainability efforts supporting our mission to promote wellness by connecting people, plants and planet. The Best Employers in NC survey acts as a helpful lens as we continue to shape our employee engagement effort. As we celebrate and reinforce Gaia Herbs’ strengths, we also address and improve the areas where our nearly 300 employees would like to see enhancements.”
The 2021 Business North Carolina Best Employers in North Carolina will be recognized in the June print issue of Business North Carolina magazine. The winners will also be featured and celebrated during the Best Employers in North Carolina Awards Gala on September 9, 2021.
