Successful Companies are SMART & HEALTHY

This is a philosophy - which I've learned from Patrick Lencioni - is something I not only believe in but want to help others achieve....specifically the healthy side. Check this out.! Here's a company, reported by Fortune, paying whose employees get paid in the TOP 25 in the country:

25. Robert W. Baird & Co.

Average total pay: $117,650

For: Financial Analyst*

Best companies rank: 11

Milwaukee-based investment advisor navigated through the financial crisis without having to resort to layoffs. In fact, it increased its staff 10% since 2007.

Aside from total compensation averaging six figures for salaried employees, Baird offers:

• 37.5 hour work week for hourly employees.
• Bonuses and profit-sharing for all employees.
• An opportunity to buy stock in this privately held firm. Nearly half of employees have done so.
• Free investment planning for all employees.
• Bonuses that range from $1,000 to $10,000 for referring a new employee.

"Baird cares about their associates very much," says one employee. "This place is like a second family."
