Hammond Lumber Company is proud to announce that we have been recognized as one of the Best Companies to Work For in New Hampshire for the fourth consecutive year. This honor reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
For 28 years, Business NH Magazine has recognized businesses that go out of their way to create engaging workplaces and understand that fulfilled employees are more productive. Companies selected for this award are recognized for fostering positive workplace cultures, offering strong benefits, and creating environments where people take pride in their work.
This year’s recognition highlights the dedication and contributions of our team in Rochester, New Hampshire, whose strong participation in the employee survey process helped make this achievement possible. The feedback gathered through the survey provides valuable insights that help us continuously improve and strengthen our workplace culture.
At Hammond Lumber Company, we believe that our employees are the foundation of our success. Their commitment to serving customers, supporting one another, and upholding our company values is what makes recognitions like this possible. We are honored to receive this award once again and remain committed to building a workplace where people can grow, thrive, and build meaningful careers.
Business NH Magazine named 22 businesses as the 2026 Best Companies to Work For in NH and inducted 10 companies into the competition’s Hall of Fame.
The 2026 competition attracted applicants from across the state. Each completed an extensive employer survey, detailing benefits and workplace practices. Employees from each company also filled out an employee engagement survey. Both surveys were administered by The Employee Engagement Group, and the results of those assessments determined the winning companies. Essays about company culture were reviewed and scored by HR executives from across the state.
To celebrate the 2026 winners, Business NH Magazine will host Breakfast with The Best on Sept. 22. In addition to recognizing the winning companies, the event will include a panel featuring representatives from the Hall of Fame companies, as well as CultureFest: 2026, where participants will dig into workplace topics in small group sessions through a series of eight-minute workshops with executives from the winning companies. The event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Manchester Hotel from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. To register for the event, go to businessnhmagazine.com/breakfast-with-the-best.
Hammond Lumber Company sincerely thanks our employees for making a great place to work and for helping us earn this distinction year after year.
