font-size: small;\">The companies highlighted are coming up with innovative strategies for motivating their employees and keeping morale high during a difficult economy. \u00a0Some are offering more generous 401(k) packages and benefit plans, and others are providing creative and engaging programs. \u00a0One company, for instance, has a \u201cfun\u00a0time\u00a0committee\u201d that regularly plans unique corporate outings, including golf contests, themed luncheons, local concerts and picnics. \u00a0Another company has a big Halloween party, where every employee gets dressed up in costumes for a memorable event that is talked about year-round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s impressive that these companies are taking the time to think about motivation and ways they can keep employee morale up,\u201d Ligos says. \u00a0\u201cAlso, this is a group of companies that\u2019s coming up with creative ways to consistently communicate with their employees &#8212; that\u2019s something that\u2019s vital to ensuring staffers are satisfied with their place of work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The top 60 companies include:<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"550\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"183\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">14 West LLC, asi\/197092<\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"176\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Genumark Promotional Merchandise Inc., asi\/204588<\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"171\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Metromedia Marketing Ltd., asi\/268940<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Absorbent, Ink., asi\/295819<\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Gifts By Design, Inc., asi\/205947<\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Mid-Nite Snax, asi\/71685<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Albrecht &amp;
