OUTSIDE's list of 100 finalists showcases companies that make employee health and happiness a point of pride. To find the best places to work in the United States in 2016, OUTSIDE conducted a rigorous vetting process in partnership with the Best Companies Group to assess the policies, practices, and demographics of hundreds of companies.

The Best Places to Work list represents the cream of the crop: companies that are empowering their employees to live bigger, better lives.

Apto is one of 36 Colorado-based companies to make the 2016 list and credits this recognition to its collaborative culture as well as employees' passion for the product.
