At Boothby Therapy Services, employee satisfaction begins with the very first interaction. The company’s Life Empowerment Program tailors each role to match an individual’s preferences for hours, locations, and the student populations they serve. Support is intentionally personalized, from “favorite things” gifts for major life milestones to management styles that flex
based on each team member’s needs.
Strong relationships between team members and their managers are key to the company’s success. New hires are guided by mentors, while peer connection is nurtured through regular online gatherings by education discipline. In-person events like ice cream socials, happy hours, and a family-friendly cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee foster belonging and fun. In 2024, Boothby Therapy extended its commitment to well-being by investing in the Calm app, which offers mental health support for employees and their families.
Each new employee is welcomed with a handwritten notecard and company swag, which includes tumblers, fleece blankets, cutting boards, and more. At the beginning of each year, employees are given a “Favorite Things” sheet to fill out including their favorite food, music, hobbies and retailers, so managers can reward them in meaningful ways. To that end, each manager is also given a “toolbox” filled with gift cards for various restaurants and retailers.

(Hall of Fame: Companies that earn a place on the Best Companies to Work For list in four out of five consecutive years are inducted into the Hall of Fame for two years.

When your managers aren’t happy, your workforce isn’t too far behind. Finding ways to engage employees and developing cultures that meet these new challenges is imperative. Who better to turn to for answers than those with employees reporting high engagement? The September issue of Business NH Magazine celebrates delves into and celebrates the practices of this year’s Best Companies to Work For in New Hampshire,” says Executive Editor Matt Mowry.
