The tools of the trade at Harrison Energy Partners aren’t mechanical; they’re flesh and blood. The company’s success is driven by its team, and it shows its appreciation in several creative ways.
Every new team member starts their tenure at HEP with a Welcome Kit, full of branded gear, company information and safety materials; it’s delivered to their homes before they even start, helping to set the tone for the company’s supportive and safety-conscious environment.
Once on the job, employees are welcomed with frequent celebrations of everything from longevity milestones to co-workers’ baby showers, demonstrating the company’s commitment to their employees’ lives outside of work. Events like the annual chili cook-off bring teams across the company together to bond.

Training is another cornerstone for HEP. Associates have access to equipment certifications, leadership workshops and Dale Carnegie courses, along with tuition reimbursement and mentorship. Associates can also request specific training.
Feedback helps to drive continual improvement at HEP. Multiple employee surveys are solicited annually, and leadership has responded with tangible changes, like adding work-from-home options and upgrading facilities.
