Day’s Jewelers has been honored with three “Best Places to Work” awards this year, including recognition in Maine, New Hampshire, and as a top workplace for women. The New England-based jeweler, founded in 1914, now boasts nine locations across the two states. The company’s long-standing presence in the region has been marked by a commitment to both its employees and the communities it serves.
This marks the twelfth consecutive year Day’s Jewelers has made the Maine list. Its New Hampshire recognition is a first, following the initial survey of its employees there. The “Best Places to Work for Women” award is equally significant, as women not only make up 69% of the workforce but also play a key role in shaping leadership, store operations, and company culture at every level.
The awards, given by Best Companies Group, are based on employee surveys that look into workplace culture, benefits, leadership, and overall experience. The process shows the importance of employee feedback in shaping organizational success.
“Being recognized as a Best Place to Work in Maine, New Hampshire, and for women is especially meaningful because these honors reflect the voices and experiences of our employees and the culture we have intentionally built together,” said Bobbi Avery, vice president of human resources.

Day’s Jewelers became fully employee-owned in 2021, a transition that has been key in strengthening its workplace culture. This shift, from being owned by the Corey family to an employee-owned model, means that vested team members now hold a direct stake in the company’s performance. This structure is central to the strong culture recognized by the awards.
“As an employee-owned company, we want Day’s Jewelers to be the employer of choice for people who want to build meaningful careers, do work they are proud of, share in the success they help create, and know their contributions truly matter,” Avery added. “These honors are a reflection of our employee-owners, whose commitment, ideas, and shared sense of ownership make Day’s Jewelers an exceptional place to build a career.”
The company’s leadership attributes these awards to its employee-owners, whose commitment, ideas, and shared sense of ownership have been instrumental in making Day’s Jewelers an exceptional workplace. This collective effort has not only earned the company accolades but also reinforced its reputation as a leader in both the jewelry industry and employee satisfaction.
