Vocera Communications (San Jose, Calif.). Vocera was founded in 2000 and aims to enhance healthcare team communication and eliminate communication errors with its technology. The publicly traded company has more than 500 employees that build upon the company's culture of innovation. Vocera created an IdeasLab which lets teams pitch new product ideas and co-workers vote on which ones to pursue; the best ideas receive awards and potentially become part of the company's solution offerings. Human connections are also central to the company's culture and Vocera offers volunteer opportunities as well as time off for "well-being" and planned events.
