A November 14 article in the New Hampshire Union Leader described the central role employee-owned Hypertherm is playing in the state's effort to create "recovery-friendly workplaces" (RFWs) in response to substance-use disorders. Hypertherm was one of the first companies in New Hampshire to earn the RFW designation, and, in the words of Matt McKenney, Hypertherm's workforce development manager, "As soon as you start to think of [a substance-use disorder] as someone being sick or ill or hurt, it becomes a really simple equation to care for somebody and put them in a situation where they are safe but still useful to our organization."
