BURLINGTON, VT--(Marketwired - Jan 21, 2016) - Fuse, an agency specializing in teen and young adult marketing, was recently named as one of the 2016 Best Places to Work in Vermont. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Fuse has been named to the list, created and managed by Vermont Business Magazine, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the Vermont Department of Labor, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) -- Vermont State Council and Best Companies Group.

"It's always an honor to be recognized as a great place to work," said Fuse partner Bill Carter. "It's especially rewarding in our home state of Vermont where so many businesses recognize the importance of a healthy work-life balance and the value of employee satisfaction."

The statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Vermont, benefiting the state's economy, workforce and businesses. Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Vermont. The first part was an evaluation of each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics, while the second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores of both sections determined the top companies and final rankings.

Fuse's employees receive substantial benefits and are encouraged to pursue a healthy work-life balance by taking advantage of unique perks such as generous vacation time, a winter season's pass to a local mountain resort of their choice, an annual fitness stipend, dog-friendly offices, an on-site mini skateboard ramp and fitness equipment, and half-day Fridays in the summer. Fuse also encourages its staff to engage with the local community, offering paid time off for volunteering and organizing monthly volunteer opportunities. Employees who reach their five- and ten-year milestones with the company receive personalized tenure packages such as heli-boarding trips to British Columbia and scuba diving trips to Costa Rica.

The final rankings for each category will be announced at a special awards presentation on March 31, 2016 at the ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington.
