Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: Embracing the mentality of a championship sports team, Rad Wear (asi/303195) puts teamwork at the center of its workplace – and that team mentality is built face-to-face, one-on-one at the company’s office in Gainesville, FL. In fact, only one of the company’s 16 employees works remotely. “We bounce off of each other. We encourage, help, teach and hold each other accountable,” says Amanda Bass, senior account manager.

Each account manager, for instance, is partnered with a production manager. The two communicate daily to ensure projects proceed as necessary, which drives collaboration, minimizes stress-inducing missteps and fosters a supportive environment.

The 13-year-old, family-owned business led by Radley and Jennifer Ruland is also a member of the Fair Labor Association, an international network promoting human rights at work. “Rad Wear is a company that really cares about its own,” Bass says.

Top Benefits & Perks: Rad Wear employees enjoy a flexible work schedule, including the ability to work remote as personal needs arise, as well as complimentary swag from the company’s marketing budget, a dog-friendly office and team lunches to celebrate a staff member’s birthday or “Radversary” – company speak for a work anniversary. And then there’s this fancy little perk: each quarter, the Rulands bring a mobile car detailer to the company office to detail employees’ vehicles.
