Business NH Magazine is announcing the 2015 Best Companies To Work For in NH in its September edition due out on Monday.

For 18 years, Business NH Magazine and its partner, the NH Businesses for Social Responsibility, have recognized businesses that go out of their way to create  high engagement workplaces for their employees through the Best Companies To Work For competition. This year’s "Best Companies To Work For" exemplify how developing a respectful, creative and supportive corporate culture can bring a company to new heights.

We decided to change things up this year and revamped the competition, focusing more on employees. Th2 2015 competition included an employee engagement survey that had to be taken by at least 50 percent of a company’s workforce. Employers also completed an extensive survey detailing benefits and workplace practices. By combining the results from the employee engagement surveys with results from the employer survey, we found 18 companies that exceeded the bar of excellence.

Medtronic has claimed the Number 1 position for the second year in a row. Vapotherm in Exeter is making its debut on the list in the Number 2 spot.

The following are being named the Top 5 Best Companies:

#3 – Digital Prospectors Corp in Exeter (25 employees)
#4 – Bellwether Community Credit Union in Manchester (82 employees)
#5 – Wire Belt Company of America in Londonderry (90 employees)
