These workplaces round out the top five in the small-company division.
2. SEI-Atlanta
Headquartered in Cincinnati, with a 50-person force in Atlanta, Systems Evolution bills itself as a boutique business and technology firm. Employees registered more than 2,000 hours of community service last year. A holiday “Toys for Tots” event collects items for youngsters. In-house events include “Ladies Night Out,” when female employees join wives of male workers for massages or supper. For the guys, there was a gathering to dine and shoot clays. A summer highlight is the company picnic, and the year wraps up with a holiday party. The benefits package is spiced with full dental coverage for the whole family, partial company funding of deductibles and fully funded disability and life insurance. Profit sharing and stock ownership plans, plus a personal time bank, enhance the plan.
3. Relus Technologies
The information technology solutions firm, staffed by 50 employees out of Peachtree Corners, was recognized by the I.T. magazine CIO Review as among the 20 Most Promising AWS Solution Providers. The company is involved with an array of charitable organizations, even cooking and serving meals. It conducts clothing drives and mentoring programs for a nearby elementary school. A shopping spree last year generated 450 “Toys for Tots” gifts. Health, dental and vision coverage is customized and comprehensive. Mid-day snacks are provided, while Fridays are marked by casual dress and grill-outs. Workers can refresh in a ping-pong room, and in-office yoga classes occur weekly. Employees’ gymnasium fees are discounted.

The provider of business process outsourcing, armed with 50 employees who operate out of their homes, is proud of its Pay It Forward program that financially supports corporate team members or contractors in need. More than $10,000 has been handed out since 2013. Additionally, one client organization annually receives money in recognition for community work. Workers gather twice annually at “summits” to receive awards, celebrate achievements and hear inspirational talks. The firm’s husband-and-wife team that founded Miles in 2010 instituted a generous paid-time-off policy. Employees can lease computers at a corporate rate and obtain discounts on Apple products.
