Here to talk about How the list is whittled down -- and what makes these companies stand outs are: Sean Mahoney, the Publisher of "Business NH Magazine" and Jill Healey Wurm, the Public Affairs Director of Verizon-NH in Manchester, and a board member of the NH Businesses for Social Responsibility in Concord. Q Sean: Review for us the CRITERIA on which these companies are JUDGED? Q JILL: A lot of work goes into SELECTING the finalists. Walk me thru the PROCESS. How involved is it? Q SEAN: Why is it important to RANK NH businesses? Q How stiff is the COMPETITION? I understand the University System of NH, of which the station is a part, was one of the 10 Semi-finalists. Q SEAN: No.1 on the list for large co.'s. Hypertherm Inc,-- a Hanover-based Manufacturer. More than 600 employees. 6- years on the list. What was it that made it SOAR to the top of the list?? |

Q JILL: Hypertherm has stuck with its NO LAYOFF policy over its 37-year history. That's AMAZING. ** Hypertherm has a Stock OWNERSHIP plan. Rare these days. and PROFIT-sharing. What did employees say about those beneifts. ==================== BETH: The Judges are all NH Executives and human resource professionals. Our assistant GM, Kelly Clark -- was tapped as a "Site-tour" judge, touring facilities and talking with CEO's and employees. I asked her if she thought Employees were Open and Honest when it came to NEGATIVE aspects of their workplace. BETH: Kelly says the winning companies made a real INVESTMENT in employees and their individual development plans. That seems to be the common theme sounded. Q SEAN/JILL: Safe to say the top 10 are dedicated to creating businesses where people WANT to go to work. =================================================== Q AT EnviroSense Inc. in Londonderry: After 5 years on the job employee & spouse sent to a weekend resort. ** At, All Metals Industries Inc. in Belmont -- They provide up to $15,000 in tuition reimbursement ** And, at Appledore Engineering in Portsmouth: They Pay 100-percent of your HEALTH Insurance. THAT would be a major selling point for me? Q SEAN/Jill: Beyond BRAGGING rights -- what are the BENFITS of making the Top 10 LIST? Q JILL: Where does Social Responsibility come in with these TOP companies. TIMBERLAND: At the Footwear and apparel company in Straham with 761 Employees " Doing well by doing good is ingrained in the CULTURE." ** give 40-hours of paid time off to do COMMUNITY service. alternative work schedule. ** even reimburse employees who use alternative fule vehicles and get reserved parking area. ** Family care leave, child care facility Q SEAN/JILL: Outstanding SMALL Companies: " HighPoint Communications", a public and media relations company in Bow with 14 employees. It TOPS the list again. Profit-sharing and bonuses a BIG plus -- but, Company also invests in their employees DEVELOPMENT. ** Is what they OFFER.difficult for LARGER companies to duplicate? Q Two HOSPITALS made the list: The Dartmouth -Hitchcock Medical Center, & St Joseph Hospital in Nashua. WHAT did they offer that made them stand out? Q MARKEM Corporation in Keene, 853 Workers. sells supports hardware & software for product identification. low turnover rate. Invest in Employees, tuition reimbursement, Q Hall of Fame companies. Those who have been on the list multiple times. Do they have to do MORE than previous years --or is just offering the same amenities in fiscally challenging times -- worthy of staying on the list? Q STYKER biotech in West Lebanon has 171 employees. They develop technology for skeletal repair. Brings in patients who benefit from product to let workers see how they're changing lives. POWERFUL. Summer barbecues, ice cream socials. Q Major factor in Employee satisfaction? Having a SAY at work.is that important? Q Any advice for NH companies looking to BUILD employee LOYALTY? Q When does planning for 2006 begin. Easy to get Judges.They learn from companies they visit. |
