The Bozeman Job Service Employer’s
Committee (JSEC) is pleased to announce the selection of three businesses for
the Bozeman JSEC 2020 Employer of Choice Award.
Bozeman businesses Coffman
Engineers, ERA Landmark, and Bridgercare are being recognized for their dedication
to providing healthy and positive workplaces and their commitment to employees.
All three businesses have also been nominated for consideration for the
statewide Employer of Choice Award presented by the Montana State Employer
Council (MSEC).
“These three businesses have had a
positive impact on the Bozeman community, each through innovative ways that
support and help each of their employees grow,”

Award winners were selected for
each of three categories based on size: businesses with 25 or fewer employees,
26 to 50 employees and businesses with more than 50 employees. Winning
businesses are selected based on the benefits they provide, their leadership
and workplace culture, opportunities for employee training and development, and
their community orientation.
