Open Approach Named One of Vermont’s Best Places to Work for Third Consecutive Year

Open Approach, a Vermont-based managed IT service provider, has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Vermont by Vermont Business Magazine and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce for the third year in a row. This recognition honors Open Approach’s continued commitment to building a people-first culture where team members feel supported, empowered, and equipped to do their best work.

The Best Places to Work in Vermont program evaluates employers through a two-part process that includes an in-depth review of workplace policies, practices, and demographics, along with an employee survey that measures engagement and overall experience. Final rankings are determined by combining these scores, making the list a meaningful reflection of both organizational investment and employee feedback.

“We are honored to be recognized again as one of Vermont’s Best Places to Work,” said Scott Bernoudy, CEO of Open Approach. “What makes this award so meaningful is that it’s driven by input from our own team. At Open Approach, we’ve always believed that great IT starts with strong relationships; not just with clients, but within our organization. This three-year streak is a testament to the culture our people have built together and the way they show up for each other and for our clients every day.”

Open Approach’s workplace philosophy centers on creating an environment where collaboration, continuous learning, and work-life balance are core expectations, not perks. The company invests in professional development, encourages open communication, and promotes a supportive atmosphere where ideas are welcomed and achievements are celebrated.

Being recognized among Vermont’s Best Places to Work for three consecutive years underscores the company’s belief that a healthy, engaged team is essential to delivering exceptional IT support, CMMC services, cybersecurity, and strategic technology guidance to clients across the region. As Open Approach continues to grow, it remains focused on maintaining the close-knit, approachable culture that has become a hallmark of the organization.
