Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: Nur Alam, operations director for imprintID (asi/73651), says the company has a healthy balance of collaboration and people-first focus with strong leadership and growth opportunities.

The layout of imprintID’s (asi/73651) office is designed for collaboration and teamwork.

“With over 135 employees working together in an in-office environment, we’ve built a culture where teamwork, accessibility and mutual respect are part of everyday operations,” Alam says. “Leadership is hands-on, communication is open and employees feel supported, recognized and valued for their contributions.”

Top Benefits & Perks: The Manassas, VA-based supplier offers competitive benefits, as well as performance-based bonuses to reward employees for their efforts. There are also regular team outings and other fun days on the calendar.

“We host regular employee celebrations, giveaways and internal awards to recognize achievements and milestones, reinforcing a positive and motivating workplace culture,” Alam says. “At our annual end-of-year celebration, all employees receive gifts and awards. The Employee of the Year is awarded an all-expenses-paid trip to the U.K. for themselves and a spouse or family member, while the runner-up receives a trip to Mexico, with additional rewards for other top performers.”

Parting Tip: “Lead by example,” Alam says. “Our leadership team actively trains employees to work alongside them, which builds trust, accountability and respect. Investing in people, recognizing achievements and providing the right tools and systems for success are critical. We manage growth by hiring proactively, upgrading systems and increasing automation so employees can focus on meaningful, high-impact work rather than burnout.”

If imprintID Were a TV Show, It Would Be The Office. “A healthy version of The Office best represents our company culture,” Alam says. “Like the show, our workplace is collaborative, energetic and people-driven, but with strong leadership and professionalism. Employees work closely together, doors are always open and anyone can walk up to a teammate or leader for help, ideas or better communication.”
