Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: Signet (asi/326636) wants every hire to believe they’re part of a team pulling in the same direction.

There’s no shortage of fun and creativity at holiday events, like Signet’s (asi/326636) Halloween costume party.

“We hire service-oriented people and have a customer-focused passion,” says Elizabeth Tate, CEO of Signet. “By giving our employees all the tools they need to make customers super happy, it really inspires them and makes them happy.”

Top Benefits & Perks: It’s a healthy mix of business and fun at Signet, with health insurance supported by flexible spending accounts, health reimbursement arrangements, an employee credit union, retirement plans and monthly company meetings to stay on track.

There’s also the fun stuff, Tate says: petting zoos at the office where family is welcome, turkey bowling, Halloween costume contests and pumpkin carving contests with gift card prizes, an eclipse watch, an offsite holiday luncheon for employees, karaoke contests with prizes. The company has also had a mini-craft fair for employees to showcase their creativity, the occasional food truck and ice cream delivery as well as an annual sample sale for employees to shop for the holidays.

Parting Tip: “Pick the best people,” Tate says. “Surround them with other great people, then empower them to do their job with great tools within a fun environment.”

If Signet Were a Movie, It Would Be Jerry Maguire. “Integrity is one of our core values,” Tate says.
