Cannabis Industry Raises the Bar for Employment Practices According to Industry Trade Journal mg Magazine

The pressure is on for cannabis companies to prove they have what it takes to rank among America's Best Cannabis Employers.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It's not often that a new economic sector exits the starting gate with enough power to convince half a million people to rethink their careers, but that's exactly what has happened with the cannabis industry. Thirty-eight states have decriminalized cannabis or enacted laws authorizing its use for medical and/or recreational adult use. Needless to say, the workforce demands have never been greater or more competitive. Each year the industry's need for workers climbs at an exponential pace, creating more than 100,000 jobs in 2021 alone.

To remain relevant and competitive, cannabis employers continue allocating tremendous resources to employee development programs. According to mg Magazine's editorial director, Kathee Brewer, "Salaries and benefits typically equal or surpass what's available for similar work in other industries, and many companies offer incentives and perks that are traditionally found only in much larger and more mature industries."

mg Magazine's annual review of America's Best Cannabis Employers is considered the industry's most credible, accurate, and thorough ranking system. While companies are not required to pay for consideration, each participating company is required to submit a company brief as well as distribute an employee survey to their workforce. The annual evaluation process is independently organized and conducted by a team of human resource experts along with the magazine's editorial team.

Nominations for the 2022 list of America's Best Cannabis Employers close September 15. The results, and an analysis of the industry's workplace environment, will be published in the December issue of mg Magazine.
