31. Promotional Consultants Inc. (asi/300790), Chesterfield, MO

Employees’ favorite perk: Employees cite the company’s social activities as something they value most at Promotional Consultants. Birthday and holiday luncheons, mini golf, escape rooms, bumper car lacrosse, pumpkin patch visits and an annual Adopt-A-Family program at holiday time are just a few things the company sponsors. “All of our activities are designed to bring our employees together as a team. These are times when we get to know each other on a more personal level,” says Linda Heckman, controller.

Tip for finding/retaining great staff: Existing-employee referrals, Heckman says. “Our employees know our goal is to treat them fairly and with respect, and they share this with their communities.”

Company culture mantra: “Our culture is one of engagement, accountability and appreciation,” says Brian Potter, vice president. “We achieve this through empowerment opportunities, social activities, wellness programs and our focus on social responsibility. We feel this protects and strengthens our relationships with our clients, supplier partners and communities.”
