Heritage Aviation is proud to share that it has been recognized as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Vermont for the 10th consecutive year, earning the #25 spot in the Small Business category (15–99 employees). The announcement was made during an awards ceremony hosted by VermontBiz and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Burlington Vermont, where more than 400 attendees gathered to celebrate employers across the state.
The Best Places to Work program highlights organizations that prioritize strong workplace culture and employee experience. Rankings are based largely on direct employee feedback, combined with a review of company practices and policies.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of our employees,” said Laura Carotenuto, HR Director. “As an employee owned company, our people are not just part of the team, they share in the success they help create. At Heritage Aviation, our employees are at the center of everything we do, and being named a Best Place to Work reinforces our commitment to an environment where our team can thrive and take pride in what we accomplish together.”
Organizations from across Vermont participated in the evaluation process, with only a select group earning a place on the final list. The program, established in 2006, continues to spotlight employers who are making a positive impact on Vermont’s workforce and business community.
Heritage Aviation is honored to be included among this year’s recipients and remains committed to building a workplace where employees feel supported, engaged, and empowered.
