According to a recent study by the American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE), the best places to work tend to belong to their local chamber of commerce.

Of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” in the U.S. and Canada this year, 94 are members of their local chamber, including all of the top 24.

In a random sample of 100 companies in the Fortune 1000, ACCE found that at least 75 were members of their local chamber.

“If a company cares about its employees, there’s a good chance it also cares about its community, and the chamber is the way that great employers invest in both,” said ACCE President Mick Fleming.

GBCC President/CEO Debbie Moreno said, “Local chambers are business associations that bring businesses together to improve the local economic climate and help members network and find new business. Strong employers link with and learn from like-minded peer companies through business-led civic organizations like the Chamber.”
