There are plenty of good companies to work for in the Capital Region: companies that provide a decent paycheck and basic benefits. And there are also a lot of great companies to work for: companies that go a step further with additional fringe benefits, company events and flexible work schedules.

But it takes a lot more than good salaries, solid benefits packages and the occasional casual Friday to be one of the Capital Region’s Best Places to Work—especially in a world where employees have more leverage and are demanding a better work-life balance. Companies on the ninth annual list go above and beyond to put their employees first. That’s because they know that if their employees are happy and engaged on the job, then they’ll take ownership of their work and protect the brand—and bottom line. Important qualities in a job market that’s becoming tighter and with employees more willing to change jobs.

If you’re lucky enough to be an employee of one of the Best Places to Work, you work hard and you play hard. And while tickets to sporting events, crawfish boils and holiday parties remain popular, workers also want remote work options, access to mental health, mentorship opportunities and time off to volunteer in the community.

A little skeptical that Exxon or any of the massive blue collar employers in the area that are known to offer excellent benefits are not included, at least in the top 3.

Also some of them are non-profits, which typically don't offer very competitive compensation. But it guess they survey well with employees.
