Employees are rewarded not only financially but by fostering an environment that encourages input at all levels and provides advancement opportunities and a family-friendly w o r k e n v i r o n m e n t . Success is shared through bonuses and retirement plan contributions. In addition, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan owns 10% of the company's stock. Employees receive flex dollars that they can use to pay for benefits. The amount is enough to cover 100% of the cost of health, dental and vision, and also a significant portion of dependent benefits. If an employee doesn't spend the allocation, it's retained as extra income. Dinner at a local restaurant is held annually for everyone reaching their 10-plus-year anniversary. www.spinnakertrust.com Workgroup Technology Partners, Inc.
