Concur Technologies has been all over the news lately. The
Redmond-based firm markets streamlined expense reporting systems for corporate
travel and entertainment—and it’s doing a very good job. Concur ranked number
57 on Forbes’ “200 Best Small Companies” in 2009 and was number 54 on Fortune’s
“100 Fastest Growing Companies” list in 2008. Concur is also a perennial
presence near the top of our own Best Companies list.

That recognition is well deserved. Concur’s management
firmly believes in the value of its employees, and the firm does everything it
can to keep them happy and healthy. Its GlobalFit Program is a multifaceted benefit
that includes discounts on health club memberships, home fitness equipment and
even personal wellness consultations. (Want help in quitting smoking or

Add in a comprehensive employee assistance program and an
extensive intranet, and you have a recipe for success.

Concur doesn’t stop there, though. It offers a host of
in-house employee enrichment programs, including a transparent performance
review process, professional coaching sessions, leadership development seminars
and Concur University—replete with training courses, podcasts and numerous
online tools.

The company’s Community Involvement Committee spurs employee
participation in volunteer events including HopeLink food drives and a silent
auction for the Boys & Girls Clubs. Each employee receives paid volunteer
hours every quarter.

Keep in mind that these perks are coupled
with an industry-leading suite of medical, dental and vision benefits. Concur’s
growth has exceeded 20 percent in each of the past two years—further proof that
a company will go as far as its employees are willing to drive it.
