Whether they’re playing tug-of-war, shooting hoops or batting tennis balls, employees at this apparel company have a riotous time competing against their industry peers in Ventura, CA’s annual Corporate Games. But every day has an element of fun at this company, which has grown famous for its on-site volleyball games and lunchtime beach runs. Retail store employees in Hawaii and Santa Cruz, CA, may surf during the workday, while workers at the Reno, NV, service center often fly-fish, jog and ride bikes along the nearby Truckee River. Employee families from across the U.S. attend the company’s annual ski trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains, taking advantage of subsidized housing and lift tickets. When they return home, they can drop their kids off at the on-site child care center at headquarters, or tap up to $150 in aid per month to pay for other types of care.
