At Lamont, Hanley & Associates, employee insights are not only gathered but acted upon through such efforts as the LHA Hack-a-Thon. There, teams pitch workplace improvements based on employee suggestions. The result was the adoption of new training programs and recognition systems.
This recognition is embedded into daily operations. From onboarding lunches with leadership to peer-driven appreciation through the Nectar Rewards platform, where employees exchange points for everything from gift cards to smart TVs, gratitude is a daily practice. Monthly meetings also highlight outstanding work, reinforcing the value of everyone’s contributions.
Flexibility is another cornerstone. Lamont, Hanley & Associates’ hybrid model allows employees to work remotely three days a week, with tailored scheduling options to accommodate family and life responsibilities.
Whether it’s a four-day workweek where employees can choose to work four 10-hour days, mid-day childcare breaks, or full remote roles, the company trusts its people to balance productivity with personal wellbeing. Employees also receive five days of bereavement leave annually, which includes time off for the loss of a pet.
Wellness is also a priority. The Manchester office includes a Zen Room for mental resets and group walks to support physical health and camaraderie. A dedicated Teams channel, “Attitude of Gratitude,” fosters everyday positivity among staff.
Employee development is robust, including custom industry trainings and HR-led leadership sessions. The firm’s commitment to equity and inclusion is evident through DEI training, affirming language practices, and a partnership with the Affirming Spaces Project.
Through all these efforts, as well as bonuses based on internal competitions and team-based challenges, anniversary celebrations, and transparent financial updates, Lamont, Hanley & Associates reinforces a simple but powerful belief: when employees are respected, recognized, and supported, they do their best work.
