The 100 Best: The care package

Nina Martin never would have kept her job, much less made partner, if her company didn’t care about her as a person. Martin is a mother of three and an accountant at Pittman & Brooks, PC, and she has benefited hugely from her company’s commitment to building and operating an onsite daycare.

The 100 Best: Beyond the bennies

The benefits offered by the companies at the top of the 100 Best list are, unsurprisingly, really, really nice. Some companies pay 100% of medical, dental and vision premiums. They contribute money to employees’ health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts.

The 100 Best: No place like work

When you envision the perfect work environment, a job caring for the terminally ill probably doesn’t come to mind. Spend an afternoon with the employees of Hospice & Palliative Care of Washington County, however, and you may change your mind, or at least open it.
