How Colorado’s Best Workplaces Keep Employees Happy

Colorado employers are offering unique benefits to keep employees satisfied during the era of the pandemic-induced “big resignation”.

Driving the news: 26 Colorado companies were named to the annual list of “50 best places to work“- five of them in the top 10.

Colorado’s best 2021 ranking:

• Phi Architecture Forum in Aspen (2nd)
• Rule4 cybersecurity in Boulder (4th)
• Fortnight of collective advertising in Boulder (5th)
• SummitCove Vacation Home Management in Keystone (6th)

What makes them special: One theme that stands out from the list, especially among Colorado companies, is the potential they offer employees to get out and enjoy the state’s adventure options.

Offers include:

• Mountain biking, downhill skiing and powder clubs, as well as outdoor team-building outings and adventures.
• An annual allowance of $ 1,000 to cover the cost of a ski pass or other outdoor activities.
• “Lunch tours” on the ski or bike trail and free ski conditioning.

What they say : “They say location is everything and we tend to agree. For an advertising agency, creativity is our trump card,” Boulder’s Fortnight told the magazine.

• “We listen to inspiration from the outdoors. Whether it’s a stroll along Pearl Street, a morning hike on Sanitas, or an afternoon blue descent in Eldora, we embrace the outdoors to spark creativity. “

• 11am starts on Monday
