Perficient Hosts Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamps to Inspire Future STEM Leaders

Diego Martinez — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 20:39:48 +0000

For the fourth consecutive year, Perficient has partnered with the Mark Cuban Foundation to offer free AI Bootcamps to underserved high school students across the United States. Held over the first three Saturdays of November, this initiative works to inspire the next generation of leaders in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, providing them with hands-on training and experience to succeed in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

Expanding Reach to Seven U.S. Cities

This year, we proudly expanded our partnership with the Mark Cuban Foundation by hosting AI Bootcamps in seven cities: Dallas, Houston, Detroit, St. Louis, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Fargo, North Dakota. The impact of this program has continued to grow each year, with more students seeking to participate in this hands-on exploration of AI tools and applications. More than 260 high school students applied to participate in a Perficient AI Bootcamp this year.

Participating students explored a broad range of AI concepts, including the ethical implications of AI systems. They examined concerns about fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability in AI technologies, as well as the societal impacts of AI, such as biases in algorithms and potential consequences on employment and personal freedoms. This exploration gave students a deeper understanding of the need for responsible AI development and thoughtful consideration of its societal effects. One unique part of the curriculum was the ability for students to choose from specialized AI learning tracks such as healthcare, business development, and sports science, which allowed them to explore AI within areas of their own personal interest. As the program concluded, students used their newfound skills and worked in groups to present AI-based solutions to real-world challenges.

Empowering Students Through Mentorship

Throughout the AI Bootcamps, Perficient employees played a crucial role in helping students navigate both the technical and collaborative aspects of AI. More than 100 Perficient colleagues volunteered to be mentors at this year’s AI Bootcamps and guided students through the learning process. These mentors drew on their professional experiences to provide valuable insights into how AI is applied in real-world settings, helping students understand the practical uses of AI technology.

Along with providing technical expertise, mentors helped develop key soft skills to help students build camaraderie within their small groups. Working together on complex AI projects can be challenging, and Perficient mentors facilitated collaboration by encouraging teamwork and effective communication. They emphasized the importance of problem-solving, sharing ideas, and learning from one another to foster a cooperative environment.

Mentors and Volunteers Reflect on Their AI Bootcamp Experiences

We reached out to a few of our colleagues to hear about their experiences from this year’s bootcamps. Check out the valuable insights shared by our mentors and volunteers across the company!

Houston is so proud to be a 3rd-time host for the Mark Cuban AI boot camp. We continue to be blown away by how quickly these young people are at absorbing and adopting cutting-edge technology concepts. I always love witnessing their fast-paced collaboration and the creative and impressive capstone projects that emerge on the final day! It’s been a fun ride – I’m looking forward to next year!
– Renu Hall, Director – Houston

The AI bootcamp in Fargo was an amazing experience. We loved seeing participants grow from curious newcomers to confident creators. It’s exciting to see the next generation of innovators right here in our community!
– Katie Wilson, Technical Architect – Fargo

The kids in our Atlanta bootcamp were just incredible. We were blown away by how quickly they grasped fundamental AI concepts and then rocketed through the practical exercises. In addition to sheer smarts, the kids showed such maturity in working collaboratively in teams on their own AI-centered solution pitches. I’m confident I can speak for the whole mentor crew in saying how grateful we are to have been able to spend time with such a smart and creative group of kids.
– Lisa Hunter, Director – Atlanta

Perficient’s Minneapolis office turned up the fun dial, hosting a Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp that brought a dozen bright young minds together for an unforgettable AI adventure! Picture this: mountains of gummy bears, endless slices of pizza, and a whirlwind of learning that expanded students’ understanding of artificial intelligence. Professionals from a variety of fields journeyed from places as far-flung as Eau Claire (and beyond!) to team up over three consecutive Saturdays. Together, they planned, mentored, and inspired the next generation of AI trailblazers across the Twin Cities region. It was a feast of innovation, teamwork, and—of course—candy-fueled creativity!
– Greg Greenwood, Director – Minneapolis

Looking Ahead

Perficient is committed to advancing STEM education in our communities, and our mentors helped students develop key professional skills that will serve them as they move forward in their careers. By fostering collaboration, teamwork, and presentation skills, our mentor’s ensured students were well-prepared to succeed in the AI Bootcamp and beyond.

With nearly 7,000 colleagues worldwide, our award-winning partnership with the Mark Cuban Foundation to host AI Bootcamps reflects our commitment to mentor and inspire future leaders in AI and technology. We are proud to have closed out our fourth successful year of partnership and are looking forward to growing our involvement even further in 2025.

Unlock the Power of Transformational Leadership

Felipe Garzon C — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 16:16:10 +0000

Transformational Leadership

Is a leadership style that inspires and motivates team members to achieve their highest potential and drives organizational change. Transformational leaders focus on creating a vision for the future, encouraging innovation, fostering an environment of trust and collaboration, and developing and empowering their team members. This leadership style is crucial for driving continuous improvement and achieving high performance in global digital consultancy companies.

How to Be a Transformational Leader in a Global Digital Consultancy Company

To be a transformational leader in a global digital consultancy company, one should adopt practices that inspire, motivate, and develop team members. Here are strategies to become a transformational leader, with examples tailored to the global digital consulting context:

Articulate a Clear Vision

Develop and communicate a clear, compelling vision for the team’s and the organization’s future. Ensure that everyone understands how their work contributes to this vision.

Example: Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, articulated a vision of transforming Microsoft into a cloud-first, mobile-first company. This vision aligned the entire organization and drove significant innovation and growth.

Motivate and Inspire

Set high expectations and show enthusiasm and commitment to the vision. Recognize and celebrate achievements to keep the team motivated.

Example: Jeff Bezos of Amazon inspires his team with the vision of being “Earth’s most customer-centric company.” His emphasis on customer obsession motivates employees to innovate and deliver exceptional service.

Encourage Innovation and Creativity

Foster a culture where team members are encouraged to challenge the status quo, experiment, and take risks. Provide opportunities for learning and innovation.

Example: At Google, the “20% time” policy allows employees to spend 20% of their time on projects they are passionate about, leading to innovative products like Gmail and Google Maps.

Provide Individualized Support and Development

Offer personalized mentoring and support to team members. Help them develop their skills and achieve their career goals through regular feedback and development opportunities.

Example: Microsoft promotes a growth mindset culture, encouraging employees to view challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. This includes personalized development plans and regular coaching sessions.

Build Trust and Foster Collaboration

Create an environment of trust, openness, and collaboration. Encourage team members to share ideas and work together to solve problems.

Example: Netflix’s culture is built on trust, with minimal rules and processes. Employees are encouraged to share their ideas and collaborate across teams to drive innovation and improve products. This open environment has led to the development of groundbreaking technologies and services.

Conclusion

Transformational leadership is essential for driving continuous improvement and achieving high performance in global digital consultancy companies. By articulating a clear vision, motivating and inspiring the team, encouraging innovation, providing individualized support, and fostering a collaborative environment, transformational leaders can significantly enhance the effectiveness and satisfaction of their teams. These strategies not only drive better business outcomes but also create a positive and dynamic workplace culture that attracts and retains top talent.

How do you assess your company?

Leaders provide regular feedback and opportunities for growth.
Leaders effectively communicate goals, expectations, and changes to the team.

Perficient Scores Three Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards

Madison Ripson — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 18:36:57 +0000

Awards Recognize Perficient for Prioritizing a People-First Mindset and Workplace Experience

We’re thrilled to share that Perficient has been recognized by Energage and Nectar with three 2024 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards: Professional Development Top Workplaces, Top Workplaces for Appreciation, and Employee Well-Being Top Workplaces! This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering a world-class culture that challenges, champions, and celebrates our people.

Earlier this year, Perficient was honored as a 2024 USA Today Top Workplace, ranking 26 on the top 100 list of large employers in the U.S. Our 2024 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards are a continuation of that program in celebration of our award-winning culture and our colleagues who make a difference each day. Take a look as we delve deeper into each award and explore some of the programs, practices, and initiatives that have contributed to Perficient’s vibrant and people-first culture. 

Professional Development Top Workplaces: Elevating Career Growth Through Growth for Everyone

The Professional Development Top Workplaces award recognizes companies that prioritize the growth and career advancement of their employees. At the heart of Perficient’s People Promise is Growth for Everyone, a system of professional development resources, training programs, and tools aimed at guiding every colleague on their own transformational career journey.

Perficient’s award-winning Growth for Everyone program provides a wide range of professional development programming, including our Consultant Curriculum, Leading With Impact, and Learning to Lead programs. New this year, we introduced an optional resource created exclusively for colleagues who have completed one of our leadership development programs – Perficient Elevate. The program includes on-demand curriculum and live training sessions designed to help colleagues become more effective leaders.

Perficient’s commitment to continuous learning ensures colleagues stay at the forefront of the latest industry trends and advancements. Our recognition as a Professional Development Top Workplace pays tribute to our promise to champion the career development of our global colleagues.

Top Workplaces for Appreciation: Recognizing and Celebrating Colleague Success

The Top Workplaces for Appreciation award honors companies that believe in creating an environment where self-sustaining performance and positivity are a direct result of genuine employee appreciation. Through efforts like Perficient’s Shoutouts program and the annual Perficient Excellence Awards, we’re fostering a cycle of continued workplace appreciation for a job well done.

First introduced in 2021, Perficient’s Shoutouts program revolutionized the way colleagues recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of their team. With a live colleague Shoutout feed displayed across the company intranet, we’re ensuring that recognition is visible and celebrated globally. Colleagues can quickly and easily recognize individuals and entire teams for their hard work and personal achievements. This fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment that strengthens collaboration, boosts confidence, and instills a deeper sense of belonging across our global organization.

The annual Perficient Excellence Awards program is another way we celebrate our colleagues who are making a difference in their everyday actions. The awards are based on peer nominations, with hundreds of colleagues submitting nominations for their co-workers who truly embrace our core values: Integrity, Innovation, Clients, Collaboration, People, and Pride. In 2024, we recognized 32 colleagues with Perficient’s Excellence Awards, honoring a distinguished group who make a difference for our clients, partners, community, and each other. Perficient’s Top Workplace for Appreciation category award is a testament to the collaborative spirit of our people and our efforts to recognize colleagues for their dedication to boldly advancing our business.

Employee Well-Being Top Workplaces: Prioritizing Colleague Health and Happiness

Perficient’s commitment to ensuring the health and well-being of our people reflects the unique culture found across our global offices. The Employee Well-Being Top Workplaces award highlights select organizations that place health and wellness at the forefront of their workplace culture and recognizes their commitment to fostering a supportive community.

Through our LiveWell Employee Resource Group (ERG), we’re providing support to colleagues in achieving overall wellness in three key areas: health, relationships, and finance. The LiveWell ERG provides regular programming and dialogue focused on helping colleagues nurture their mind, body, and soul. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month in October, the LiveWell ERG organized its first Global Wellness Challenge with a mission to foster healthy habits and lifestyle choices. Colleagues from around the world can participate in a friendly competition between teams by participating in a variety of wellness activities that support their mental and physical well-being.

By emphasizing colleague well-being, we’re ensuring that Perficient is an inclusive space where everyone can become the best version of themselves. Our recognition as an Employee Well-Being Top Workplace serves as a testament to our promise to challenge, champion, and celebrate our people.

Celebrating a Culture of Excellence

Perficient’s 2024 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards celebrate our ongoing efforts to develop an environment focused on professional development, genuine appreciation, and health and well-being. This not only enhances the colleague experience but also drives the success of our global company. Together, we are creating meaningful connections around the world that shatter boundaries and forge the future for generations to come.

How Job Satisfaction Boosts Employee Engagement?

Felipe Garzon C — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 19:21:31 +0000

Job Satisfaction

Job satisfaction refers to how content and fulfilled employees feel about their jobs. It is a critical factor in driving high performance, innovation, and retention within a software development organization. When employees are satisfied with their jobs, they are more motivated, engaged, and productive. Job satisfaction encompasses various aspects, including the nature of the work, work environment, relationships with colleagues, compensation, opportunities for growth, and recognition.

Promoting Job Satisfaction in a Software Development Company

To promote job satisfaction, organizations should implement strategies that address these key factors. Here are some effective strategies, along with real-life examples from software development companies:

Providing Meaningful Work

Assign projects that align with employees’ skills and interests, and clearly communicate how their work contributes to the company’s mission.

Example: LinkedIn’s “InDay” is a monthly event where employees are encouraged to step away from their regular work to pursue personal interests, professional development, and community service.

Encouraging Autonomy

Give teams the autonomy to make decisions about their work, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility.

Example: Google’s Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams have the autonomy to make decisions and are encouraged to innovate. They use metrics and monitoring to continuously improve system reliability.

Recognizing and Rewarding Contributions

Implement recognition programs to acknowledge and reward employees’ achievements and contributions.

Example: Zappos has a monthly recognition program where employees are acknowledged for their contributions in various categories, such as exceptional customer service, innovation, and teamwork. The winners are celebrated in a company-wide meeting, and they receive tangible rewards.

Supporting Professional Growth

Offer continuous learning opportunities through training, workshops, conferences, and mentorship programs.

Example: Spotify promotes a culture of “Fail Fast, Learn Faster,” where failing is part of the learning process. Teams are encouraged to take risks, fail quickly, and learn from their experiences to continuously improve.

Promoting Work-Life Balance

Provide flexible working hours, remote work options, and support for personal commitments to help employees balance their work and personal lives.

Example: Microsoft offers flexible work schedules and remote work opportunities, recognizing the importance of work-life balance. This flexibility helps employees manage their personal and professional lives more effectively, leading to higher job satisfaction.

Creating a Positive Work Environment

Foster a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative work culture where employees feel valued and respected.

Example: Atlassian promotes a culture of openness and inclusivity, encouraging employees to bring their whole selves to work. Regular team-building activities and an emphasis on diversity and inclusion contribute to a positive work environment and high job satisfaction.

Conclusion

Job satisfaction is a crucial element in driving high performance and retaining top talent in a software development company. By providing meaningful work, encouraging autonomy, recognizing, and rewarding contributions, supporting professional growth, promoting work-life balance, and creating a positive work environment, organizations can significantly enhance job satisfaction. These strategies not only improve employee morale and engagement but also lead to better business outcomes and a more successful organization.

How do you assess your company?

Work assigned takes advantage of the employee’s skill set.
The right tools are available to do the work required.
The acquisition of tools needed is supported.
All team members feel welcome and valued.
Works loads are consistent and continuous.
Teams have spontaneous discussions and members are eager to contribute.
When issues are raised they are seen as opportunities to solve problems.
Employees identify with the organization and have a sense of contribution.
Diverse backgrounds are encouraged to collaborate.

Jessie Rees Foundation and The Foundation for Excellence Both Receive $5,000 Perficient Global Grant

Madison Ripson — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 14:35:03 +0000

Perficient’s Giving Employee Resource Group (ERG) recently introduced the Perficient Gives Global Grants Program, which gives colleagues the opportunity to nominate charitable organizations from around the world to receive a $5,000 donation from Perficient. After carefully evaluating each nomination, Perficient’s Giving ERG leadership team selected the first five organizations to receive a donation. Last month, we announced Charity: Water as the first organization to receive a Perficient Global Grant.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the next two organizations receiving a $5,000 donation from Perficient: the Jessie Rees Foundation, nominated by Tara Vondran, Senior Project Manager, Southern California, and the Foundation for Excellence, nominated by Rajesh Ranga Rao, Technical Architect, Chennai.

Spreading Joy to Children Fighting Cancer with the Jessie Rees Foundation

The Jessie Rees Foundation believes that every child fighting cancer deserves joy, the opportunity to smile, and the encouragement to Never Ever Give Up (NEGU).

Founded by Jessie Rees, a 12-year-old girl who courageously fought cancer, Jessie’s family continues her mission to share hope by sending motivational and cheerful gifts, including JoyJars, to kids battling cancer.

Watch the video to understand Jessie’s journey, and what inspired her drive to help other kids continue fighting.

Tara nominated the Jessie Rees Foundation because the organization and its mission are particularly impactful to her family. In 2019, Tara’s niece received a diagnosis of Leukemia. While the road to recovery was challenging, Jessie’s story was influential in inspiring her to never give up. Tara’s niece is now in remission, and Tara hopes to continue spreading joy to children in the hospital for many years.

Tara first learned about the Jessie Rees Foundation nine years ago and has volunteered her time by stuffing JoyJars with toys, cards, beanies, and socks. She has even coordinated a volunteer event where Perficient colleagues created “Care Cards” full of hope and words of affirmation to help spread a touch of happiness to those who need it most.

“There’s so much that a kid goes through with cancer, and the Jessie Rees Foundation makes a difference,” said Tara. “Knowing the kids have a support system means the world, and receiving toys and care cards inspire them to never give up and continue the fight.”

Each year, more than 400,000 children receive a cancer diagnosis. As of January 2024, the organization has sent more than 475,000 JoyJars to kids fighting cancer all over the world. Thanks to Tara’s nomination, Perficient’s donation will empower children with cancer to be courageous and understand that they are not alone.

Advancing STEM Education in Partnership with the Foundation for Excellence

The Foundation for Excellence was founded with the mission to award college scholarships to low-income students pursuing education in engineering, medical, biopharmaceutical, and law programs in India. Through country-wide programming efforts, the Foundation for Excellence identifies people without necessary educational funding and provides them with resources to continue learning.

The non-profit also offers all engineering scholars a curated training program for soft and technical skills, as well as an in-house mentorship program for professionals to connect with and guide first-generation learners as they embark on their professional journey.

Education is a cornerstone of India’s society. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to the resources or financial support needed to achieve higher education. Through Rajesh’s nomination, we’re helping connect students with the tools they need to be successful.

“The Foundation for Excellence plays a pivotal role in offering scholarships to college students requiring financial assistance, thereby creating a difference by transforming the lives of students to pursue and achieve their dreams,” said Rajesh.

Rajesh has been involved with the Foundation for Excellence since 1998 when he received a scholarship from the organization to assist with his continued education and career growth. As someone who has personally benefitted from the work the Foundation for Excellence provides, Rajesh understands the importance of the organization’s mission on a deeper level. Inspired by that mission, Rajesh continues to pay it forward by making his own donations to the Foundation for Excellence to help others who aspire to further their professional skillset.

For 29 years, the Foundation for Excellence has awarded more than 95,000 scholarships to students living in impoverished regions of India. Since 2022, the organization has supported more than 13,579 students pursuing education, with 4,851 people being first-time scholars. Thanks to Rajesh’s recommendation, Perficient and the Giving ERG will continue to help enable and advance STEM education across India.

Perficient and Our Colleagues Are Making a Difference

Our colleagues at Perficient are incredibly kind, generous, and have a passion for volunteerism. The Perficient Gives Global Grants Program is a shining example of Perficient’s corporate social responsibility, community engagement, and commitment to fostering a collaborative workplace centered around giving back.

Stay tuned next month for another announcement sharing the final two organizations that will each receive a $5,000 Perficient Global Grant. This September, Perficient colleagues will have another opportunity to nominate charities that are meaningful to them for a Perficient Global Grant. Together, Perficient and our colleagues are making a difference and empowering all people to be the change they wish to see in the world.

Charity: Water First of Five Organizations to Receive $5,000 Perficient Gives Global Grant

Connor Stieferman — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 15:08:51 +0000

Perficient and our colleagues have always given selflessly of our time and talent, making our communities brighter each day. Since 2021, our Giving Employee Resource Group (ERG) has inspired action and generosity while capturing and celebrating all the amazing ways we’re making a difference across the world.

READ MORE: 2023 Perficient Community Impact Report

Earlier this year, the Giving ERG introduced a new way colleagues could make a difference – the Perficient Gives Global Grants Program. Through the program, colleagues around the world can nominate their favorite charitable organization to receive a one-time $5,000 donation from Perficient. Any nonprofit organization that aligns with Perficient’s corporate giving pillars – advancing STEM education and improving health and well-being – can be nominated to receive a Perficient Gives Global Grant.

Nominations were held in April, with global colleagues nominating nearly 100 wonderful global organizations, and five were selected to each receive $5,000.

Today, we’re proud to announce the first recipient of a Perficient Gives Global Grant – Charity: Water – which was nominated by Renu Hall, a director out of Perficient’s Houston office.

Charity: Water’s Mission and Renu’s Passion for Ending the Water Crisis

Safe drinking water is much more than a basic human need. It’s the foundation for improved health, education, and economic opportunity. Charity: Water has been on a mission since 2006 to end the global water crisis. By partnering with experienced local organizations to build sustainable, community-owned water projects, Charity: Water has connected more than 18 million people in 29 countries to clean and safe drinking water.

For Renu, nominating Charity: Water for a Perficient Gives Global Grant came from her own personal experiences and seeing the need firsthand.

“I have a lot of passion for that organization, and hearing that they would be receiving this donation was pretty special,” said Renu. “I was born in Tanzania and grew up in Sub-Saharan Africa before moving to India and then the U.S. So, I grew up in developing nations, and one of the biggest struggles for these countries is bare necessities: sanitation, water, food, medicine. You see the effect of that in these countries and I grew up experiencing it.”

Charity: Water works with local partners to fund water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs for rural communities around the world. Once a local partner has been selected, Charity: Water works with them to evaluate existing water sources, terrain, and population to ensure they are funding the most appropriate solution for each community. After construction ends, Charity: Water continues to work with their local partners to monitor, evaluate, and maintain WASH programs, ensuring that each program operates sustainably for years to come.

Renu has supported Charity: Water through her own financial donations for years and says hearing the story of Charity: Water’s founder, Scott Harrison, is one aspect that initially inspired her to get involved. She noted President Jimmy Carter’s advocacy for global health and environmental concerns as another inspiration for making a difference.

“It is distressing to see a child’s future threatened or diminished by preventable disease. The rights to health services and to safe, clean, affordable water are fundamental to a life of dignity and are protected by international law. Yet millions of people die of water-related diseases annually, and millions more suffer needlessly. None of us should turn a blind eye to the shocking consequences of inadequate access to clean water and to sanitation.”

President Jimmy Carter, as quoted in Renu’s nomination

“Charity: Water’s work has a huge impact on communities all over the world, promoting health and vitality and reducing disease and decline, in areas where Perficient employees live and work,” said Renu.

Thanks to Renu’s nomination and Charity: Water’s fundraising model, 100% of Perficient’s donation will aid in the planning and implementation of sustainable water sources in rural areas around the world.

“The U.S. dollar can go a long way in developing nations to do so much with very little. The impact you can make with those dollars in those nations is remarkable. Whole communities and whole villages can be changed,” said Renu. “Charity: Water is doing life-saving work. People die from water-borne diseases in these countries, and it’s tragic to see how the basic necessity of access to clean water could save those lives.”

Help Charity: Water Bring Clean and Safe Water to Every Person on the Planet

More than 703 million people are living without clean water. Help Charity: Water bring clean water to these affected communities by making a donation today or joining their monthly giving community, “The Spring.” Every cent funds clean water projects around the world.

Perficient’s donation to Charity: Water is the first of five we will make in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for future updates announcing the other four great organizations that are receiving a Perficient Gives Global Grant! We’re not stopping here, either. Perficient colleagues will have another opportunity to nominate their favorite charity for a Perficient Gives Global Grant later this year.

Every Perficient colleague can make a difference and help us build a brighter world for years to come. The Perficient Gives Global Grants Program is an incredible opportunity for any colleague – no matter their global location – to help pay it forward and support charitable causes.

Perficient is a 2024 USA Today Top Workplace

Jonathan Cochrum — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 15:34:40 +0000

Exciting News! We are thrilled to be named as a 2024 USA Today Top Workplace, which recognizes companies across the U.S. for their people-centric work culture. We are especially excited that our commitment to fostering a positive work environment is being recognized by USA Today, which ranked Perficient 26 on the top 100 list of large employers in the U.S.

At Perficient, our success is driven by the collaborative spirit and dedication of our more than 7,000+ colleagues worldwide. Together, we share a common goal to make a difference.

Empowering Voices and Celebrating Achievements: Our Journey to Top Workplace USA 2024

Across our global teams, we are each united in our dedication to cultivating an inclusive environment where every voice is heard, and every achievement is celebrated. This esteemed award recognizes the significant influence our people have on a global scale.

Earlier this year, our colleagues participated in a voluntary survey conducted by Energage, an employee and research technology firm, to share their experiences at Perficient. The survey results were then compared against the Top Workplaces benchmarks. Based on the results, Perficient ranked #26 on the top 100 list of large employers in the U.S. – a tremendous recognition and acknowledgement of our people-centric, collaborative culture.

The results are solely based on the feedback from our colleagues, and it is truly an honor to be considered as not only a thought-leader in the technology space, but also an employer of choice in the eyes of our people. As a global organization, Perficient takes great pride in placing our people first. We are happy to add this prestigious recognition to our growing list of awards.

Our Colleagues Are #ProudlyPerficient

Perficient colleagues make a difference by actively engaging with communities and delivering innovative solutions that shape industries. Being recognized as a Top Workplace is an incredible honor. In addition to our 2024 USA Today Top Workplace award, Perficient has received several regional Top Workplace designations and was honored as a 2023 USA Top Workplace just last year. None of this would be possible without the dedication and collaborative spirit exhibited by our talented teams.

Our Employee Resource Groups

Much of our success is built on multicultural competency and understanding. That is why we take pride in providing four Employee Resource Groups (ERG) and an Innovation Group (IG). These communities provide our colleagues the opportunity to create meaningful relationships while enhancing their professional development.

More specifically, the group aims to support employees with their overall wellness in three key areas: Health (mental, physical, emotional), Relationships (work, friendships, family), and Finance (personal finance, retirement, life event planning).
Perficient’s Giving ERG– is made up of colleagues who are dedicated to growing and celebrating philanthropy. Through the Giving ERG, we aim to inspire action and generosity while making an individual impact on the world and in the communities where we live and work.
Women in Technology (WiT) ERG– is an active and passionate community where women and their allies can share ideas, find resources, and support fellow colleagues. The group’s goals are to promote educational resources and career growth for the women of Perficient and facilitate networking and connection for women, peers, and allies.
Generative AI IG– aims to drive innovation, connection, and community with Perficient’s clients, colleagues, partners, and investors about the emergence of generative AI tools and capabilities, and the impact these technologies have on businesses today.

Community Outreach

Perficient’s commitment to making the world a better place is second to none! Our colleagues’ take advantage of opportunities to mentor the future leaders in the industry. A few examples include:

Madison Ripson — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 17:20:03 +0000

With 2023 coming to a close, it’s important to reflect on our accomplishments over the past year. Being named a U.S. Top Workplace this year was an incredible source of pride for Perficient. As an award-winning workplace, Perficient colleagues collaborate with experts from across industries and time zones to strategize, test, and build end-to-end solutions for the world’s biggest brands and largest enterprises.

Through our People Promise, we’re enabling our colleagues’ career development, prioritizing diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and making genuine connections across the globe. We’re proud to deliver amazing digital solutions that transform the world’s most recognizable brands. Our clients trust us because of the collaborative, experienced, and entrepreneurial spirit our people bring to every interaction, and our colleagues get to experience the excitement and opportunities that come with partnering with big brands they can be proud of.

Watch the video to learn how we’re accelerating growth for our clients, partners, and colleagues around the world.

Driving Innovation for Our Clients

From the very first meeting, we see every opportunity with our clients as a continued investment and trusted partnership. We help our clients imagine, create, engineer, and run digital solutions that transform how they connect with their customers and grow their business.

“My favorite thing when it comes to Perficient and the way that we work with clients is that we’re incredibly practical,” said Vanessa Case, account developer, Denver. “What do we need to get done today? How do we do this in a manner that makes sense to the organizations that we are serving? That to me is the fastest way to acceleration.”

We also strongly believe in developing a people-centered environment committed to driving change through collaboration. Our teams are making large strides to further develop relationships with our clients and partners.

“I think that we can accelerate the growth of our clients if we understand their needs from the beginning, and in every aspect,” said Nicolas Pagliaro, general manager, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile. “You need to be a part of the solution from day one.”

Our modern approach and proven methodology to digital consulting leads to successful outcomes for our clients. With unparalleled strategy and technology capabilities, we bring big thinking and innovative ideas, along with a practical approach to help our clients succeed. Our six solution categories offer our clients a truly end-to-end digital transformation, but these can also stand on their own to meet a specific need. Using these capabilities, we partner with our clients to iterate and build digital solutions that bring faster speed-to-market results and compelling experiences for their customers.

Making a Difference with Our Global Teams

Additionally, we’re committed to increasing our global footprint to bring the best teams, capabilities, and processes together. In the last few years, we completed expansion efforts in India, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Additionally, we’re looking forward to welcoming SMEDIX, Inc., to Perficient in 2024. The upcoming acquisition will strengthen our healthcare industry software capabilities, expand and enhance our offshore delivery capacity, and further grow our presence in Eastern Europe.

With our enhanced global presence, Perficient can fully integrate our aligned approach across teams and time zones while casting a wide net of resources to benefit our clients. Perficient leverages strategy, technology, and innovation to support critical initiatives within a wide portfolio of industries. Discover how we’re building relationships and streamlining operations for our clients in the following sectors:

“I feel that Perficient accelerates client growth and that we’re very strategic,” said Felicia Johnson, portfolio specialist, Experience Design Sales. “We think about everything holistically. That helps accelerate our thoughts, their thoughts, how we work together, and what that roadmap might look like. Even if we’re solving that initial problem, accelerating to me isn’t necessarily going fast. It’s going holistic, and it’s going strategic.”

Taking Perficient’s Partnerships to New Heights

Perficient takes pride in building a comprehensive strategic network that fosters meaningful connections with the world’s leading technology companies. Through our partnerships, Perficient can leverage our core competencies, enhance and extend our service offerings, and improve time to market.

Perficient’s commitment to excellence, success, and versatility serve as a strong foundation for building relationships with our clients and partners.

“The way that it makes me feel working for Perficient, knowing that we’re impacting clients, their customers, and their own people is why I’m still here,” said Henry Heisler, general manager, Southern California. “A big part of it is our colleagues. We have great colleagues and brilliant people who really care deeply about doing good work for clients, creating success for customers, and for themselves.”

Diwali – The Festival of Lights

Sweta Nemani — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 18:57:24 +0000

Diwali (or Deepavali – meaning “row of lights” in Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language) is the Indian “festival of lights”. Diwali symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.

Celebrations and observances vary depending on the region. For many people, Diwali honors the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. The lights and lamps are said to help Lakshmi find her way into people’s homes, bringing prosperity in the year to come. In northern India, Hindus celebrate the return of Lord Rama and Sita to the city of Ayodhya, after defeating the evil king Ravana! In the region of Bengal people worship the goddess Kali, the destroyer of evil forces, during Diwali. And in the South, people celebrate Lord Krishna’s victory over the wicked king Narakaasura. Though primarily a Hindu festival, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths.

But Diwali is not just about lights and legends – it is a time to have fun with friends and family. People decorate their homes with rangolis (an art form in which patterns are created on the floor and decorated with colorful powders, sand, flour or flowers), illuminate their homes with oil lamps and lanterns, wear new clothes, enjoy fireworks, make delicious sweets and snacks and exchange gifts with friends, family and neighbors.

Diwali isn’t just a popular festival in India, but it has become one of the most recognized and celebrated Indian festival outside of India as well!

Natalie Wright Innovates and Excels at Perficient

Carolyn Kroupa — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 14:41:43 +0000

Perficient strives to empower our people through a collaborative, supportive, and welcoming work environment. Our award-winning culture builds a foundation for our colleagues to grow their careers, build global connections, and work with some of the biggest brands in the world. This is the backbone of our Perficient People Promise to challenge, champion, and celebrate our people who make a difference each day for our clients, colleagues, communities, and teams.

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Natalie Wright to learn more about her experience at Perficient. Natalie shared how she feels supported by the team and culture at Perficient, and how she innovates within and outside of her role on the email marketing team. Keep reading to learn more!

How long have you been with Perficient and what roles have you held?

I was initially at Perficient for about two and a half years. I was on the Partner Marketing team aligned to our Microsoft, AWS, and Twilio partnerships. I then shifted roles into email marketing to explore my interest in digital marketing. An opportunity presented itself at a different company before I ultimately decided to return to Perficient in October 2022. Now, I am an associate email marketing manager on the Corporate Marketing team.

The main reason I came back to Perficient was the culture. The incredible support I receive at Perficient allows me to do my best work. The team helps keep me sharp in my role, and I can learn so much from all the other marketers. There’s always someone I can reach out to if I don’t know the answer or if I need support in areas that aren’t my specialty. True collaboration and the motto, “if one of us shines, we all shine,” are engrained in our culture at Perficient.

Can you describe a typical day in the life of an associate email marketing manager?

My role mainly consists of managing our Pardot database, creating and sending emails, making sure we’re compliant with data and privacy laws on a global scale, and targeting the right people at the right times with our emails.

My team is responsible for creating emails that are sent externally from Perficient. The most common types of emails are prospective client facing emails and emails to our partners. Additionally, internal emails that are specific to business units or practice areas run through my team as well. Creating customizable emails that our Perficient sellers can leverage for direct client outreach is also an important part of my role.

What is your favorite aspect of your role?

My favorite part is getting to analyze and evaluate processes. I appreciate when processes run smoothly. It’s exciting to look at things we’ve always done and see if there’s a better, more efficient way to do them. Asking questions and using data to drive and update our processes is crucial. Especially with privacy laws changing and Perficient expanding into new countries, it’s important that we continue to evaluate and evolve.

Are you a part of any Culture Groups at Perficient?

I’m a member of the St. Louis Social and Cultural Committee, and I help plan events that continue fostering our amazing office culture. We host monthly events such as happy hours and lunch meet and eats. We also have annual traditions like a chili cookoff and a Thanksgiving potluck! We recently hosted a reception to celebrate our contributions and efforts during Hunger Action Month to help our community stomp out food insecurity.

Whether big or small, how do you make a difference for our clients, colleagues, communities, or teams?

I make a difference by enabling our marketers to succeed and reach their campaign goals. I make the email team’s capabilities known so that marketers can in turn better support their subject matter experts, partners, and stakeholders. Educating the broader marketing team about what resources they have available to them and how our email team can support, such as sharing best practices, analytics education, and optimizing campaigns, are overarching ways I make a difference at Perficient.

What are you proudest accomplishments, personally and professionally?

Personally, about four years ago, I started getting more into health and fitness. I joined a community and focused on consistency. Over time, I noticed a huge difference in my strength, confidence, and overall health. Professionally, I’m proud of building a solid team structure. Being able to build and support a team that runs smoothly and delivers for our stakeholders has been very rewarding.

What advice would you give to colleagues who are starting their career with Perficient?

The advice I give to everyone is don’t be afraid to ask questions. Even if you think it’s silly or obvious, it’s probably not. I would also say try to give yourself some grace when you’re going through the onboarding process. There is a lot to learn, but eventually things will click. You will build up confidence, so just be patient.

If you had to define yourself using one Perficient value, which would it be and why? (People, Pride, Clients, Innovation, Integrity, Collaboration)

I would say innovation. Mistakes are bound to happen, but innovation often stems from mistakes. It’s about what happens after those mistakes and the lessons learned that matter the most. If you’re okay with making the same mistakes over and over, you’ll never improve. So, I always try to reassess and reevaluate. This helps me and the team move forward and do better the next time.

Perficient’s Global Footprint Enables Genuine Connection and Collaboration

Madison Ripson — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 16:52:30 +0000

With more than 7,500 colleagues and dozens of global locations, Perficient is making genuine and meaningful connections across the world. Through Perficient’s promise to challenge, champion, and celebrate all colleagues, our company remains a top workplace in the eyes of our people.

We take pride in creating a diverse work environment that celebrates and enables the career growth of our colleagues. In fully integrating our teams, and building strong relationships with our global colleagues, we can transform the world’s largest enterprises and biggest brands. Watch the video below to discover why our global footprint enables genuine connection and collaboration among our colleagues.

With teams spanning technologies and time zones, our expanding global business and inclusive culture promise to create opportunities to collaborate with the top talent in the world, while maintaining personal and collaborative relationships. We are uniquely positioned to deliver meaningful experiences and make a collective impact on our clients, communities, and one another. “Working with colleagues around the world is fantastic,” said Nicolas Pagliaro, general manager, Uruguay. “Every day, you have the chance to learn from different cultures and professionals. I think the most important thing about that is working with a single global team every day. For me, that’s amazing.”

Our colleagues come from different backgrounds and traditions, but we are each united under the same core values: Integrity, Innovation, Clients, Collaboration, People, and Pride. We’re proud to offer colleagues around the world the chance to make a difference and contribute ideas to help bring our unique culture to life.

“I think what’s been really interesting for me is to get to know people that are in other locations,” said Henry Heisler, general manager, Southern California. “Whether it is Colombia, Argentina, or different places within India, the values and culture are consistent. By and large, everyone has the same core values around high integrity, doing good work for clients, and growing.”

How Is Perficient Accelerating Global Growth?

At Perficient, we know that global delivery is a powerful and compelling model for development, and we’re committed to building a world-class global delivery model that brings the best teams, capabilities, and processes together. We have thousands of skilled strategists in the U.S., Latin America, Eastern Europe, and India who partner with clients each day to deliver innovative digital experiences. Learn about our scaled delivery approaches to understand how our methodology allows us to maximize our clients’ digital investments and accelerate our time to market.

As an award-winning digital consultancy, our global footprint is enabling our colleagues to continue growing, learning, and collaborating with talented thought-leaders from around the world. Our Women in Technology Employee Resource Group (ERG), Perficient’s Giving ERG, and our newly created Innovation Groups, provide platforms for knowledge sharing, connection, and professional growth. Additionally, our new Cultural Connections ERG aims to educate, enable, and engage colleagues to celebrate multiculturalism. The group will host regular meetings and events to generate meaningful conversation around the cultural differences that shape our workforce.

“Our team structure supports our business a lot,” said Mary Jiang, director, LDC Consulting. “When we have a global team, we have the chance to learn different cultures. So, if we did not have a global team, I would never get the chance to come to the U.S. and learn a different culture. If we did not have a global team, we probably would not have a chance to learn Indian, Chinese, Latin American, or Europe’s culture. I think that is amazing thing. We live in one country, but we still have a chance to know a lot of people across the world.”

Discover Perficient’s Unique Global Culture

Our teams of skilled strategists and technologists around the globe bring an unmatched level of dedication, drive, and passion in everything we do – including a variety of fun events.

I think that’s awesome.”

Through collaboration across our global teams, we take an end-to-end approach to digital transformation and bring innovative ideas to the market. The possibilities for global delivery are endless.
