Friday, September 7, 2018 – Business NH Magazine is announcing the 2018 Best Companies to Work for in NH in its September edition this week.

For 21 years, Business NH Magazine has recognized businesses that go out of their way to create high engagement workplaces for their employees through the Best Companies to Work For competition. The competition attracted applicants from across the state.

The 2018 competition included an employee engagement survey that had to be completed by at least 50 percent of a company’s workforce as well as an extensive employer survey, detailing benefits and workplace practices. By combining the results from both surveys, judges found 22 companies that exceeded the bar of excellence.
