Company Culture: Flexibility is key at The Book Company (asi/41010), a longtime resident on the Best Places to Work list and a past number-one company. “The biggest perk is knowing you can live your life,” says President Doug Greenhut. “You’re not expected to be at your desk from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. … People feel respected and trusted. I think if we have anything going for us it’s that our team, our management, everybody in the business is just very respectful and trusting of others.”

COVID Changes: The Book Company adopted a hybrid structure about three years before the onset of COVID. Employees who work in the warehouse and production facility are on-site, and just about everyone else has been working from home, touching base primarily via videoconferencing. “I can’t remember the last time I talked on the phone. We’re always communicating on video,” Greenhut says. “It works really well for us, and we don’t have any plans to change back to the office.”

Parting Tip: “I’ve always believed in overcompensating people,” Greenhut says, “and making the entire company feel they’ve never had a better job than this.”
