Chapter 1
Nearly every company wants to be thought of as a great place to work. But what does that really mean? It isn't always about salaries and benefits or free coffee and doughnuts in the break room. Up-and-coming marketing gurus in Phoenix don't want -- or need -- the same perks as miners in Wisconsin. What they do share is a common desire to feel connected to and appreciated by their companies. In turn, their companies want employees who are trusting and engaged. Through its annual survey, the Great Place to Work Institute does its best to make sense of it all with research that shows a direct correlation between happy employees and profitable companies. Here are its top five small companies for 2010 -- and some noteworthy examples of things you should consider putting into practice at your company.

Like many marketing agencies, Dixon Schawbl has followed the trend of creating a more non-traditional work environment for its staff. Based in Rochester, N.Y., the company built its $3.5 million office from the ground up eight years ago, incorporating design ideas from a survey of employees who were given 72 hours to come up with a wish list for their ideal work environment.
The result is a space that features a koi pond, a pair of waterfalls, a slide that employees can take from floor to floor instead of the stairwell, a fireplace, faux-finish walls covered in quirky artwork, contemporary furniture and a padded primal scream room (which has recently been retired).
But what struck founder and CEO Lauren Dixon the most about her employees' requests were the little things.
"You'd be surprised by how many people said that they simply wanted windows that they could open, non-traditional lighting or even just walls that aren't painted white," Dixon says.
For Dixon, who co-owns the company with her husband Mike Schawbl, the building project was an eye-opening experience because it reinforced the critical role of communication and inclusiveness when it comes to management strategies.
"We believe that 10 brains are better than two," Dixon says. "We want our employees to come to us with every crazy idea they have. We challenge our employees to come up with creative ideas and raise the bar every single day."
Another reason job satisfaction has remained so high, Dixon believes, is the many opportunities employees have to give back to their community. Dixon Schawbl currently provides a number of services pro-bono to organizations such as the American Heart Association, Habitat for Humanity, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Dixon, along with many of her employees, also serves on a variety of nonprofit boards.
Not surprisingly, Dixon Schawbl regularly receives a flood of job applications from around the world. Those who make the cut enjoy a benefits package that includes vacation time, PTO, regular paid holidays, time off for birthdays, 401(k), health care, profit-sharing, maternity leave and flex time.
