Employees of this management consulting firm based in Norcross had plenty of time out of the office in 2015. The company, which was founded in 2002 and now has 61 employees held a company-wide scavenger hunt across Atlanta as part of a new-hire event, paid for Uber fares at the company holiday party at the Westin Buckhead Atlanta and rented a theater and gave the staff the day off to watch the new Star Wars movie, “The Force Awakens.” Insight Sourcing Group paid for the tickets and snacks. A family-oriented company retreat is planned for the Ritz-Carlton on Lake Oconee this year. A new initiative in 2015 is the sabbatical program, which gives employees a paid month off when they’ve been with the company for 10 years.
Families are a focus at this Cincinnati-based boutique business and technology consulting firm, which holds events with its employees’ families in mind. These include a Ladies Night Out that features massages and dinner for the female employees and the wives of the male employees, an annual summer picnic, an outing to shoot sporting clays and the company’s annual holiday party, which features dinner and dancing. Its 200 employees – which include 58 in Metro Atlanta – and their families receive medical and dental health plans, short- and long-term disability, life insurance, a 401(k) and a wellness program. SEI-Atlanta, which was No. 2 on last year’s list, boasts that it offers its employees “a sense of community, security and mutual trust and respect.”
