Volunteering together is a great way to build relationships with your colleagues. You get to know things about co-workers that would never have come up in a typical workday discussion. Our Perficient Atlanta team had the opportunity to do just that during a recent volunteer initiative with our local Habitat for Humanity. For years I’ve […]

Our colleagues are empowered to make an impact both in their work and in their communities. Art Zippel, a Senior User Experience Researcher with our Perficient Digital team, is a great example of this.

I first heard about Soles4Souls through a social media post from a friend who works at Brighton, a retail store that has a shoe collection bin.

So it’s only natural for us to also want to be giving of ourselves to help our community. For our most recent volunteer effort, we spent a morning […]

I grew up in the Belleville, IL, area and attended Belleville East High School, the home of the Lancers. During those four years (2004 to 2008), I developed as a student, an athlete, and more importantly, a person thanks to the softball program.

Helping people on their journey to finding a good job has always been a passion of mine, ignited by watching the struggles of peers during the recovery from the Great Recession.
