HOOKSETT, NH –  PROCON is honored to be named among the best places to work in New Hampshire by Business NH Magazine. Business NH Magazine named 27 businesses as the 2025 Best Companies to Work For in NH and inducted seven companies into the competition's Hall of Fame.

For 27 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.

“We are deeply honored to be recognized among the best places to work in New Hampshire. At PROCON, we believe that our people are our greatest strength, and this award reflects the culture of collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose that our team lives every day. Creating an environment where people feel valued, inspired, and empowered to do their best work isn’t just good for our team — it’s essential to delivering the exceptional results our clients expect. This recognition motivates us to keep raising the bar.” said John Stebbins, CEO, PROCON

Here are some of the employee survey results that helped PROCON secure fourth place.

PROCON Top Employee Engagement Survey Measures:

This fourth-generation family-owned business finds many ways to let its team members know just how much they are valued. Employees share in the company’s success through a bonus pool from which they can elect to have a portion contributed directly to their 401(k). The value of their bonus increases based on their length of service. Leaders also surprise team members with extra paychecks or extra paid time off.

Team members who reach major milestones at 20 years or more receive personalized gifts or experiences valued from $500 to $1,000, depending on the anniversary. When retiring, team members with 30 years of service or more are gifted a $5,000 trip.

PROCON holds an annual Employee Appreciation Event that includes a softball tournament and cornhole competition, and a catered BBQ lunch, as well as annual Family Fun Day. Last year, they held Family Fun Day at Charmingfare Farm in Candia, featuring a petting zoo, pony rides, a bonfire, picnic lunch, hayrides, and a wild animal exhibit.

Safety and health are a priority at PROCON. Among its popular wellness offerings is an on-site flu clinic for employees and their families, on-site yoga classes, on-site chair massages, and an on-site gym with a Peloton subscription, treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, weights, and rowing machines. 

Among the policies PROCON implemented based on employee feedback are: a work-from-home policy, hiring a training director, summer early-release Fridays, providing $150 prescription safety glasses every other year to field employees, and offering automatic monthly phone reimbursement.

Every year, PROCON holds a Core Value Awards ceremony, honoring employees nominated and voted on by their colleagues for exemplifying the company’s core values, whether consistently going above and beyond, leading with empathy, or inspiring others through collaboration and hard work. These awards are given out at their annual anniversary celebration, with spouses in attendance, hosted at a hotel that their team designed and built.

PROCON has earned a spot on the Business NH Magazine Best Companies list for all seven years that they have submitted.
