The MEMIC Awards

The MEMIC Awards
For three decades MEMIC has helped employers commit to improvements in workforce safety. We created The MEMIC Awards to highlight this emphasis, with annual recognition for companies that excel in our core philosophy: safety, injury management, and workforce partnership.

2024 MEMIC Award Winners

The 2024 MEMIC Awards for Excellence in Safety and Workforce Partnership were handed out at MEMIC's Annual Meeting of Policyholders in Portland, Maine on Monday, June 10.

Excellence in Safety: L.L.Bean

L.L.Bean has been selected as the winner of the MEMIC Award for Excellence in Safety for their exceptional participation and partnership in safety workshops, on-site safety assessments, and training programs. Their commitment to clear communication, accountability, and fostering a culture of safety and care throughout the organization has set a remarkable example for workforce safety practices.

Excellence in Workforce Partnership: Cynthia Murphy
 
Cynthia Murphy, the Senior Program Director for Coastal Enterprises, Inc (CEI), was selected as the winner of the MEMIC Award for Workforce Partnership for her outstanding work in creating and managing The Childcare Business Lab and the Childcare Investment Fund. These programs have helped create new jobs while offering a solution to one of the largest obstacles facing Maine business owners and workers: an inability to secure childcare.
 
Through Cynthia's guidance and support, 32 Child Care Business Lab graduates have launched businesses, creating new jobs and childcare spaces, while empowering parents to pursue their own career opportunities. Her dedication to workforce skill development and community well-being embodies MEMIC's commitment to employment growth and workforce health.

About The MEMIC Awards

To earn a MEMIC Award for Excellence in Safety, organizations demonstrate adoption of best practices in identifying and removing workplace hazards and building a culture of care and accountability throughout their operations.

In 2021, MEMIC began recognizing employers that help injured workers regain health and return to work with its MEMIC Award for Excellence in Injury Management. Winning organizations collaborate with MEMIC and healthcare professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes for workers injured on the job.

MEMIC also created the annual MEMIC Award for Workforce Partnership in 2021 to recognize leaders who create opportunities to attract, support, and develop a qualified workforce.

All awards are given annually. Nominees are recommended by our policyholders’ Loss Control and Claims representatives to recognize outstanding performers in safety and injury management.

If you are a MEMIC policyholder making progress toward creating a safer, more compassionate workforce, contact your Loss Control or Claims representative to see how you might qualify for consideration.

If you are not receiving premium workers’ compensation services from your current insurer, ask us about becoming a MEMIC-insured employer and get ready to create a culture of safety that reduces risk, increases productivity, and enhances your bottom line.
