Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: While TCAG (asi/170136) maintains a strong concentration on its customers and suppliers, having a crew of healthy and engaged employees never strays far from the mind of company leadership, which aims to understand each employee’s goals so the company can create a clear path for career and personal development. A focus on candid, transparent dialogue generates trust, says TCAG President and CEO Jim Harker, and permits employees to be themselves.
To that latter point, TCAG’s hybrid work model enables employees to determine the best work environment to fuel their success, engagement and happiness. Some employees work 100% remote; others are in the office every weekday. Some have moved to other states; others pop in or out depending on family schedules. “We focus on what’s going to allow the employee to thrive and excel,” Harker says.

Top Benefits & Perks: TCAG complements its full suite of traditional benefits with a few enticing perks, including weekly company lunches, happy hours and free gym memberships to anyone using such a facility at least three times a week. The company also allocates capital each year for employees to purchase “new gear, equipment or anything that helps bring comfort and enjoyment to their workspace,” Harker says. In fact, investing in a pet-friendly office and standing desks are two examples of employee suggestions that have since been implemented across the company.
