NH’s Best Companies to Work For Are…
For 24 years, Business NH Magazine has recognized businesses that go out of their way to create engaging workplaces. These are businesses that recognize that a fulfilled employee is more productive. This year’s competition is unique as it also examines how companies adjusted their culture and policies for the pandemic and how they are ensuring that their employee practices are inclusive and equitable for all employees.
The 2021 competition attracted applicants from across the state. Applicants had to have their employees take an engagement survey and they had to complete an extensive employer survey, detailing benefits and workplace practices. Winners were determined from the results of both of those.
Fully, 25 NH companies exceeded the bar of excellence.
