Each year, OUTSIDE recognizes the top 100 companies in the United States that help their employees strike the ideal balance between work and play.

The full list of winners can be found online at www.outsideonline.com/dreamjobs.

"If you're considering a career change or searching for your dream job, OUTSIDE's Best Places to Work list is the first place to look," said OUTSIDE Executive Editor, Michael Roberts. "These companies set the standard for workplaces that really value their employees and offer an experience that's fulfilling inside and outside the office."

OUTSIDE conducted a rigorous eight-month vetting process in partnership with the Best Companies Group to assess the policies, practices, and demographics of hundreds of companies, and went straight to Ergodyne employees to hear about factors like corporate culture, role satisfaction, work environment, and overall employee engagement. The Best Places to Work list truly represents the cream of the crop.

"We're honored to be part of such an impressive list of companies," said Tom Votel, president and CEO, Ergodyne. "The fact that our employees provided the type of feedback they did means we're doing something right, I hope. And that's really special and humbling."
