Dartmouth-Hitchcock (D-H) has been awarded on the Forbes list of Best-In-State Employers 2021. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

“D-H is continuously striving to be the employer of choice in New Hampshire,” said Aimee Claiborne, chief human resources officer for D-H and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health. “For us, it’s not enough to just be the largest private employer in the state; we want to be the best in every measure – employee engagement, competitive pay scale, employee retention and fostering a culture of respect. This recognition from Forbes is a testament to our commitment organization-wide to delivering on that promise to being a choice employer that attracts stellar talent.”

Forbes’ Best-In-State Employers 2021 were identified in an independent survey based on a vast sample of approximately 80,000 Americans working for companies with more than 500 employees in the United States. Across 25 industry sectors, 1,329 employer brands were ranked among the top employers. Brands were able to win in more than one state.

The evaluation was based on direct and indirect recommendations from employees who were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family. Employees were also asked to evaluate other employers in their respective industry and state that stood out either positively or negatively.
