The Best Companies Group compiled the list using research to examine companies’ practices, programs and benefits along with employee surveys. Thirteen small businesses (26 overall) qualified for the inaugural list this year.
Qualifying companies must be publicly or privately held for-profit, not-for-profit, or government entities with a facility in Indiana and a minimum of 15 full- or part-time employees working in Indiana.
FoundSM was lauded for its unlimited vacation (and two-week annual minimum), as well as flexible work schedule, benefits for staff and pets, volunteer opportunities, happy hours, and other activities to support work/life balance.
“We are proud to be mentioned in the same breath with these other fantastic organizations,” said Julie Woempner, Founder and CEO at FoundSM. “Developing our company as a place our staff is excited to work isn’t just a goal, it’s cemented in our organizational values. Being included on this list is an honor, but one we’ve worked hard to achieve. We hope to be among the best places for Hoosiers to work for years to come.”
