Commitment to the Upper Valley and its Associates Helps Hypertherm Win "10 Best Companies to Work For" Honor


Magazine selected Hypertherm, Inc. in its top "10 Best Companies to Work For". In the article, the magazine credited Hypertherm's values and commitment to its Associates as key reasons for earning this recognition.

Hypertherm, was named the #2 employer in the NH ranking this year, for many reasons, among them a community service program which encourages its Associates to volunteer for two days in the community and an Associate stock ownership program, which has averaged 25% in profit sharing over the past five years. The company's focus on Associate well-being, and striking a healthy work-life balance are keys to its team atmosphere and "the sense of fairness in our ownership culture".

"As Hypertherm continues to grow and hire new Associates, it's important for us to maintain our unique culture and values, while continuing to support our community." explains Human Resources Director, Melissa Carlson. The company shared its commitment to continued success in the Upper Valley and expects the Hanover-based workforce to grow by another 10% in 2007.
