In addition to bi-monthly service projects, BrainStorm workers take time to enjoy each other's company and cut loose in what they call Culture Club activities. Kasey Yardley and Chandler Milne go long for a pass at the annual Turkey Bowl.

About this Article
At BrainStorm Inc., people manage stress with impromptu dance contests, foosball games and dodge-ball matches. The company hasn't done a productivity study or a cost-benefit analysis to prove that such office diversions help the bottom line. But productivity is high, turnover is low and health insurance for employees is cheaper than the norm.Latest Galleries
