Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: Birds of a feather flock together, right? Well, that’s one thing that drives the success of Incentive Concepts (asi/62536). Most of the company’s 39 team members joined as a referral. The company invests at least two employees in a successful onboarding process and helps bring people into the fold who genuinely enjoy being around one another.

Admittedly “picky when hiring new talent,” Vice President of Administration Billie Reise says the company works to elevate the business by finding the right spot for each employee’s skills and talents. Over the years, several team members started in one department and later found a better fit in another role, which has served both the individual and the business in productive ways. “We believe in ensuring the right people are in the right seat, and we’re comfortable offering opportunities that benefit the business and our team members,” Reise says.

Family-focused and philanthropic, Incentive Concepts also invites employees’ family members to join the company at charity events throughout the year.

Top Benefits & Perks: Everyone has a voice at Incentive Concepts, Reise says, and that carries through to the company’s perks and recognition. The company dishes out a peer-to-peer Superhero Award during its monthly town hall meetings, offers a birthday lunch with the president, company tickets to sporting events, an inclusive holiday party and a generous incentive program to keep staff motivated and appreciated.
