Last night, the annual Best Places to Work in Kentucky awards ceremony was held at the Lexington Convention Center, where the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management announced this year’s winners. Nearly 1,300 attendees joined in celebrating the 100 Kentucky companies who were recognized for their commitment to focus, measure, and move their workplace environments toward excellence. For the 13th consecutive year, Dean Dorton was a part of this prestigious list.

This year, Dean Dorton ranked #4 overall in the Medium Companies category (150 to 499 employees; determined as of November each year), having previously ranked #10 in the Small Companies category. This was Dean Dorton’s first year in the Medium Company category. Dean Dorton was also recognized as one of only six companies who has been a Best Place to Work for 13 years and is a member of the Best Places to Work Hall of Fame!
