Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: At San Antonio, TX-based You Name it Specialties (YNIS, asi/365123), employees play just as hard as they work. “We like to have fun at the office,” says CEO Josh King. “We routinely celebrate with a 30-second dance party.”

YNIS (asi/365123) employees frequently participate in group activities to encourage team bonding.

The distributor strives to build a workplace where employees feel appreciated and understand they play a vital role in helping YNIS reach its goals, King adds. “It’s important that each member of our team feels heard and seen while they’re at work,” he says.

Top Benefits & Perks: YNIS will often plan fun group activities, such as laser tag, escape rooms, pool parties or even just a walk in the park. “While we all have corporate identities, it’s important to appreciate the person behind that identity, and those realizations most often are apparent while at leisure,” King says.

Another YNIS perk? The company recognizes an MVP of the week with words of affirmation from every team member as well as a paid half-day off.

Parting Tip: “Build an environment where those around you can flourish,” King says, “and then get out of the way.”

If YNIS Were a TV Show, It Would Be Impractical Jokers. “When you come into work in the morning, it’s common to find an Ice-T standee in your cubicle, or ‘Little-Josh’ (think Elf on the Shelf) staring at you from behind your monitor or your desk covered in sticky notes,” King says. “You also have to be wary when taking a trip to the warehouse, as you might be startled by a plastic cockroach or a Nerf gun ambush.”
