Will Work For Good

At a time when we're supposed to feel lucky just to have a job, why are so many employers supporting our addiction to travel, helping us get fit, and inviting our dogs into the office? Because it's good business. Presenting our third annual list of Outside's Best Places to Work.

It's a well-known fact that healthier employees save businesses money

Secrets to Their Success
What makes a great job great? That was the big question we set out to answer with our third annual list of Outside's Best Places to Work. Because after two years of celebrating some phenomenal employers, we felt energized—Look! They're successful precisely because they support a proper work-life balance!—but also unsure how to proceed. We wanted more takeaway. We wanted to show other businesses the light. So this time around we drilled to the core of our winners' philosophies and practices to look for common strategies. As it turns out, companies from a vast array of industries are following the same enlightened paths.

OK YOU SAY ASPEN IS ONE OF THE BEST SKI COMPANYS TO WORK FOR. I DISAGREE, I BELEAVE YOU PUMP THEM CUZ OF THEIR ADVERTISING THEY PUMP IN YOUR MAG. IM MEAN COME ON WHY IS ASPEN BETTER THEN VAIL OR BRECKENRIDGE, OR TAOS OR SUN VALLEY?? TRUTH IS THEY ARE NOT. I WORKED FOR SKI CO. IE: THE ASPEN SKI COMPANY.HONESTLY THEY WERE A LAME OUT FIT TO WORK FOR, MGT. AT MOST LEVELS WAS POOR, THE PAY WAS NOT EVEN A LIVING WAGE AND THE SEASON PASS PROGRAM IS A JOKE IN ASPEN , NOTHING LIKE VAIL. YOU GOTA WORK FOR THE SKI CO TO GET A PASS, IN VAIL YOU WORK ANYWHERE YOU GET A PASS. MOST WORKERS I WORKED WITH FELT TRAPPED CUZ ASPEN HAD THIER PASS, AND THEY HAD TO STAY IN A JOB THEY HATED, AND GOOD LUCK TRANSFERING TO ANOTHER JOB. REALTIY ASPEN IS NO BETTER THEN OTHER SKI AREAS TO WORK FOR IN SOME INSTANCES WORST THEN MOST. TO SAY THEY ARE A TOP PLACE TO WORK FOR IS A DISERVICE TO YOUR READERS.
