Thu, 20 Mar 2025 16:18:15 +0000

Our colleagues around the world are united by a collaborative culture that champions, challenges, and celebrates every individual. We are proud to share that Perficient has been honored as a 2025 USA Today Top Workplace, which recognizes companies nationwide for their people-centric work culture.

With nearly 7,000 global colleagues, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment that values every voice and embraces diverse perspectives. This prestigious award reflects the significant impact our people and company have on a global scale. Our U.S. colleagues previously participated in a voluntary survey conducted by Energage, an employee and research technology company. The results were then compared against the Top Workplace benchmarks. This honor showcases the remarkable influence our team has in creating a positive work environment.

We take great pride in this recognition, which is based solely on our colleagues’ feedback. This award contributes to our growing list of accolades, including multiple regional Top Workplace honors. The 2025 USA Today Top Workplace award marks the third consecutive year Perficient has received a national top workplace distinction, further underscoring our commitment to building a people-first culture.

Perficient Scores Three Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards

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.

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 15:43:03 +0000

Perficient understands that a thriving business is built on a foundation of engaged and talented colleagues. We are committed to challenging, championing, and celebrating our people, and that is more than just a promise. Through our award-winning Growth for Everyone programming, Perficient is encouraging our colleagues to take ownership of their careers while providing the resources and support to help each person succeed.

Growth for Everyone holistically captures the many programs and tools at Perficient, and we recently shared insight about our Learning to Lead and Leading With Impact programs. Another professional development opportunity available to Perficient colleagues is the Consultant Curriculum program, which is a professional development program consisting of self-paced programming designed to help Technical and Business Consultants build important skills to support their professional growth at Perficient.

Continue reading to learn about the comprehensive program and how the key course topics can benefit Perficient colleagues are they advance their consulting careers.

A Unique Hands-On Learning Experience

As part of Growth for Everyone, Consultant Curriculum employs a blended learning approach, combining self-paced online modules with instructor-led training and hands-on experience. Introduced in 2023, this multifaceted program caters to diverse learning styles by providing flexibility and enabling cross-team collaboration with industry experts.

Designed specifically for consultants, the program equips our colleagues with the skills and knowledge to excel in their roles. With content ranging from video tutorials, articles, assignments, and sessions recorded by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Consultant Curriculum encompasses a wide range of tools for colleagues from every learning style.

By aligning with three distinct career stages, the curriculum provides cohorts with a clear path for growth and advancement.

Foundation Building: Associate to Consultant: This learning path focuses on developing core consulting competencies, including communication, organization, time management, taking initiative, problem-solving, and teamwork. These skills are crucial for establishing a strong professional foundation and effectively contributing to project teams.
Leadership Development: Consultant to Senior Consultant: As consultants progress in their careers, the focus shifts to leadership and interpersonal skills. The curriculum emphasizes influencing, negotiation, adaptability, cross-cultural communication, and relationship building. These competencies are essential for building strong client relationships, navigating complex projects, and driving impactful results.
Strategic Focus: Senior Consultant to Lead Consultant: This cohort prepares consultants for leadership positions with advice on conflict management, leading others, and change management, and team building. These skills are critical for inspiring and motivating teams, driving organizational change, and delivering exceptional outcomes.

Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Through a Tailored Training Approach

Through our Career Paths resource, Perficient colleagues can visualize a path forward in their career progression at Perficient, outline the stages to achieve their goals, and answer questions related to their career growth. Consultant Curriculum serves as an extension of Perficient’s Career Paths, providing Technical and Business Consultants useful information related to evolving industry trends and business needs.

In the initial development stage, Wendy LaBenne, senior talent development consultant in Perficient’s Corporate HR team, strategized with leaders at Perficient to understand the relevant and essential skills colleagues need to advance their careers as consultants.

“We were engaged specifically to focus on the soft skills as outlined in our Career Paths resource,” said Wendy. “I conducted a needs assessment survey as well as several calls with consultant leaders to identify soft skills needed at a more micro level. Once the content for each consultant level was determined, I developed the learning content and assignments. I sought input from consultants and leaders in the field to ensure the content is relevant to their work.”

By equipping Perficient’s consultants with fresh perspective and insightful knowledge, the Consultant Curriculum program aims to empower participants to:

Tackle Challenging Projects: Feel confident taking on complex projects and know they have the skills and knowledge to excel.

Build Strong Relationships: Forge deeper connections with clients while fostering a collaborative environment.

Drive Business Growth: Become a catalyst for Perficient’s success through enhanced skills and expertise.

Perficient’s Consultant Curriculum can help colleagues understand how to develop the skills needed to propel their career forward. It provides a structured, formal learning program that outlines how to enhance your skillset using actionable tips and advice.

Enabling Ongoing Growth and Development With Growth for Everyone

This is just one subset of Growth for Everyone, which includes a variety of tools that colleagues at Perficient can use to reach their goals. We are proud to provide our colleagues with access to Perficient Academy, which is a one-stop shop for career development where colleagues can access on-demand, self-paced training materials. Colleagues can also understand the options available to them by mapping out their professional growth journey through Perficient’s Career Paths and Career Development Workbook.

“Growth for Everyone encompasses a wide range of initiatives, from leadership development programs to mentorship opportunities,” said Wendy. “It’s about creating a workplace where learning is continuous, and growth is celebrated. By investing in its people, Perficient is not only building a stronger workforce but also fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.”

Professional and personal growth is an ongoing journey. Perficient is forging the future by supporting and enabling the success of our people. Leaders are continuously improving our Growth for Everyone programs based on feedback from participants to ensure the most engaging, useful, and thought-provoking content.

Through Perficient’s People Promise, our global company is building a collaborative culture that embraces diversity, drives global connection, and accelerates the growth of our business and colleagues around the world.

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.

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.”

People of Perficient: Meet Stephanie Sterling, Healthcare Business Operations Manager

Tue, 19 Sep 2023 14:18:37 +0000

Our global colleagues bring an unmatched level of dedication, passion, and drive to every project and deliverable. Through Perficient’s industry expertise in healthcare, we can make a difference for patients, care teams, and their families. Healthcare organizations play an integral role in providing equitable access to care options, and Perficient is uniquely positioned to equip industry leaders with the tools, capabilities, and strategy to transform the healthcare journey.

We recently heard from Stephanie Sterling, business operations manager, Healthcare, about her experience working at Perficient. Learn how she is creating a collaborative environment where colleagues feel valued, while supporting Perficient’s approach to healthcare through an equity lens.

Describe your role at Perficient. What does a typical day look like?

As the business operations manager for the healthcare group, I hold the responsibility of making a positive impact on my colleagues by offering structure, support, and training. I ensure that my colleagues have the essential tools and process clarity required to thrive in their roles. Additionally, I prioritize improving communication channels, which ultimately enhances collaboration and contributes to a more cohesive team.

DISCOVER MORE: Read About the Individual Success Stories of Our Colleagues

What do you value as a team member at Perficient?

I am grateful to work at a company that prioritizes work-life balance and fosters a culture of appreciation for colleague contributions. The ability to maintain a healthy equilibrium between work and personal life is extremely important to me.

Moreover, being part of a team that consistently acknowledges and values the efforts of each colleague has cultivated a supportive and collaborative work environment that I enjoy.

What made you decide to work for Perficient? What makes you stay and want to do your best work?

In all honesty, I ended up at Perficient serendipitously. I was working through a temp agency and was sent to Perficient as a file clerk back when we had an office in Austin, Texas. The assignment was only for six weeks, but after the initial timeframe, I stayed on and was eventually hired. I left the company but returned about a year and a half later. I stayed because I like the culture fostered at Perficient and I have always been treated with professional respect, even when I was just a temporary file clerk.

Healthcare and life sciences organizations are increasingly focused on equity. How are you seeing DE&I addressed in your work and in the industry?

Many of my colleagues are doing great work addressing DEI with our customers! They are utilizing their industry and technical expertise to build inclusive care pathways, messaging strategies, and digital transformation initiatives for our clients.

In addition, I have been thrilled to see Perficient’s Bright Paths Program unfold. I look forward to our company’s continued success in bringing STEM opportunities to underrepresented groups and collaborating with current and future Bright Paths graduates at Perficient.

Healthcare Leaders Turn to Us

Our healthcare experts understand the unique challenges facing the industry. The 10 largest health systems and 10 largest health insurers in the U.S. have counted on us to support their end-to-end digital success. Modern Healthcare has also recognized us as the fifth-largest healthcare IT consulting firm.

We bring pragmatic, strategically-grounded know-how to our clients’ initiatives. And our work gets attention – not only by industry groups that recognize and award our work but also by top technology partners that know our teams will reliably deliver complex, game-changing implementations. Most importantly, our clients demonstrate their trust in us by partnering with us again and again. We are incredibly proud of our 90% repeat business rate because it represents the trust and collaborative culture that we work so hard to build every day within our teams and with every client.

With more than 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry, Perficient is a trusted, end-to-end, global digital consultancy.

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. Whether it’s our Nagpur colleagues dancing the night away during their annual party, our Bangalore colleagues celebrating India’s Independence Day, or our Mexico colleagues burning calories at personal defense classes as well as 5K and 10K races, we know how to work hard and have fun while doing it. Follow our global teams on LinkedIn to learn more about Perficient’s incredible office culture in Latin America, India, and the U.S.

The generosity of our people is inspiring, and through Perficient’s global footprint, we have the power to drive change and accelerate growth around the world. Perficient’s Community Impact Report showcases stories, activities, and results detailing the impact we’re making on a global scale. Read the report to discover the unique ways that Perficient colleagues are giving back to local communities, including how we’re improving our carbon footprint in Latin America, advancing STEM education through Perficient’s Colombia Robotics Team, and participating in volunteer events that make a difference.

“I think being able to help people across the world makes us stronger because we have so many different cultures and we can learn from each other,” said Lorena Fernandez, project manager, Argentina. “We’re improving ourselves each time that we interact with people and have the opportunity to meet them in person or in different events that we have. 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. Stay tuned for the final blog in our series celebrating Perficient’s 2023 Top Workplace USA award where we will discuss how Perficient is working with some of the world’s largest enterprises and biggest brands to make a difference for our clients, partners, and business.

Perficient’s Culture Embraces Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 19:05:51 +0000

Perficient is an award-winning workplace that attracts and retains incredible talent from around the world. And while Perficient prioritizes the professional development of our colleagues through Growth for Everyone, building a supportive and diverse culture where every person feels comfortable, valued, and respected is equally important.

As outlined in the Perficient People Promise, we believe in developing a workforce that is as diverse and inclusive as the clients we work with. Together, we’re constantly pursuing progress, and we’re committed to actively listening, learning, and acting to further advance our organization, communities, and future leaders, always driving towards a diverse environment of inclusion and belonging.

Watch the video below to hear our colleagues share their experience working, growing, and learning from their peers around the world.

Our values are at the heart of each project, meeting, and deliverable. Felicia Johnson, portfolio specialist, Experience Design Sales, explains how our colleagues and diverse work culture motivate her personally and professionally.

“From a cultural perspective, how Perficient shows up for me as a black woman in the technology industry for over 25 years, it is about time to be seen and heard,” said Felicia. “For me, that is huge. It is something that needs to be talked about. I think that Perficient from a cultural perspective does a beautiful job of that. Every single person that I work with always has this authentic space about themselves. It’s what drives me and keeps me happy every day.”

Championing Leadership and Career Opportunities for Women and Minorities

As the leading global digital consulting firm, Perficient is uniquely positioned to drive change in the community through our future leaders in technology. With more than 7,500 employees, our colleagues around the world are key to our growth and success. We believe Perficient colleagues are the best and brightest in the industry. Together, we constantly pursue progress centered around diversity, inclusion, and equity.

Progress begins with commitment, and Perficient is committed to:

Promoting women in technology;
Partnering with diverse suppliers;
Celebrating multicultural learning;
Giving back to the communities in which we live and work; and
Maintaining a zero-tolerance policy.

Our Women in Technology (WiT) Employee Resource Group (ERG) helps to promote career and educational growth for women through fostering meaningful connections with experts in the field. Members can connect with mentors, hear panel discussions, attend networking events, and participate in internal events and campaigns that demonstrate and celebrate our diverse cultures. Through mentorship and networking, women and allies can build strong relationships with their peers while learning helpful advice for career progression at Perficient.

“It’s amazing to see how many women that we have in the leadership position management,” said Lorena Fernandez, project manager, Argentina. “In any part of the company, you see the women present, and it’s really strong.”

Additionally, we are advancing STEM education by bringing more diverse insights and skillsets into the conversation to drive true innovation. We recognize that the responsibility to help drive equity throughout the broader technology industry falls on us, and our Bright Paths Program is designed to advance STEM education and career opportunities for underrepresented constituencies and communities.

Founded in partnership with Strayer University’s Hackbright Academy and DevMountain, the program is a fully funded, 16-week custom-coding bootcamp that is creating relevant learning experiences and preparing students for the workforce. With more than 180 graduates since its launch in 2020, including many women and minorities, the Bright Paths Program helps participants develop the skills needed to begin a successful career in technology.

Perficient and our colleagues are active thought leaders in the technology and digital consulting space, regularly attending industry tradeshows and hosting networking events to share our expertise. Whenever possible, we participate in industry programming that supports and enables career growth for women in technology. Our award-winning Women in Digital panel discussions in collaboration with Adobe feature a panel of senior leaders from across various industries who facilitate conversation about professional growth, empowerment, and digital innovation. We’ve also hosted our own events focused on empowering woman, like our panel discussion on proactive women’s health discussing several ways the health ecosystem seeks to better understand women’s needs and a meaningful care journey.

These efforts are just a few of the programs and practices Perficient has implemented, and they serve as an extension of our larger companywide movement to empower women to follow their dream, believe in themselves, and explore a career in STEM. Read the Life at Perficient blog to discover more about how women at Perficient are advancing their careers within the technology industry.

Advancing STEM in Our Global Communities

Perficient focuses on empowering diversity, inclusion, and belonging in our global organization, and we’re bringing a similar mindset to the communities where we live and work. As part of our corporate giving philosophy, we strive to advance STEM education while improving health and wellbeing. Through the Perficient Gives Charitable Match Program, U.S. colleagues make monetary donations to eight charitable organizations that are matched by Perficient. Learn more about the difference we’re making in the STEM community to support organizations such as FIRST Inspires (FIRST) and Girls Who Code.

We’re proud to provide educational opportunities for women in technology. One way we have achieved this was through our support of Techie Masters, an all-female robotics team located in the rural community of Valparaíso, Colombia.

Participants in Perficient’s Techie Masters team are empowered to realize their potential to change the world through their passion for technology. With our support and partnership with the Girl Powered Program, the team received hands-on experience, training resources, and educational materials to help them build a robot for a global robotics competition.

Our colleagues are changing the world through their passion for mentoring the next generation of technology leaders. We’re supporting high school students in underserved communities by hosting AI Bootcamps in collaboration with the Mark Cuban Foundation. During these bootcamps, students learn the fundamentals of AI and machine learning through educational seminars, lessons, and interactive lab exercises. So far, we’ve hosted three bootcamps in Dallas and Houston, and we’re expanding the program in fall 2023 with AI Bootcamps in St. Louis, Detroit, Dallas, and Houston.

Perficient’s culture embraces diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and there is much more to come in 2023 and beyond. Take a look at the fourth blog in our series featuring Perficient’s People Promise, Global Footprint with Genuine Connections, to learn how our global presence creates opportunities for collaboration and connection.

Discover How Louise Kraus Paves the Way For Success

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 21:31:42 +0000

At Perficient, we are proud to work with incredible people who give their time and talent to support our clients and communities. Through our People Promise, we strive to challenge, champion, and celebrate the difference that our colleagues are making.

For Louise Kraus, a business coordinator based in New Jersey, each day offers the chance to discover new concepts and continue growing as a leader. Through her work supporting multiple business units, including Adobe, Financial Services, Minneapolis, Chicago, Digital Strategy, and Experience Design and Mobile Solutions, Louise wears many hats around the office. Our team recently sat down with Louise to learn more about her role as a business coordinator and how she is setting an example for future women leaders in technology.

Hi Louise, thank you for meeting with us today. Can you describe your role and what a typical day on the job looks like?

I have been a business coordinator at Perficient for almost nine years now, and I support the back office and operations. I work with project managers and salespeople to help manage projects, and we are constantly changing and always learning something new. During a typical day, I usually start off by reviewing “piffs” and “puffs.” These are project intake forms that we use when the contract is ready to be signed and the project is ready to be entered. I set up the project and add the budget, hours, and people. I process a lot of project update forms every day as well, which is when the project manager is ready to update a project and change the invoice.

In general, I help put out many fires and assist the project managers if there is an issue. I also help with month-end close. The most difficult aspect of my job is getting everything in on time for close because we have a lot of revenue to capture across multiple accounts. I enjoy all the people I work with from fellow business consultants, managers, project managers, and consultants. It’s great to work with people who are so open and responsive. I’m proud of each of our business coordinators and the diverse work we do.

How have you grown your career at Perficient? 

I’ve chosen to stay in the same position because I enjoy this job and what I do. It’s never boring. I grow every day because I’m always learning something new. We’re constantly learning new ways to improve the position and what business consultants can do for the company. I’m always challenged, and I like that.

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

I volunteer locally to deliver food to shut-ins and elderly people once a month. I also participate in the Perficient Gives charitable match program. I think this is a really neat opportunity to be able to give back at Perficient.

What are your proudest accomplishments, personally and professionally? Any milestone moments at Perficient? 

Creating reports and handling the volume I receive every day is an accomplishment itself. I also work with a lot of the newer business consultants, and I love encouraging them to take courses to grow their careers. I have taken a few classes myself through Udemy and Perficient Academy, such as:

Email etiquette and time management;
OneNote;
Excel;
Italian; and
Courses that will enhance my work and organization skills.

With Perficient growing internationally, I would like to take courses to learn Spanish and other languages. I suggest that all colleagues at Perficient should use the tools available to take training courses. I think it’s so beneficial, and there are a lot of opportunities for project managers. For new colleagues, these tools can be very helpful in learning the processes at Perficient.

What has your experience at Perficient taught you? 

I really enjoy working here because of the people. My experience has taught me a lot about collaboration, and I like the integrity of Perficient. We have such a good team, and we’re always helping each other out. Everybody pulls their weight, and we have each other’s backs. If someone doesn’t know how to do something, we call each other up and people are willing to help. I appreciate that so much.

Why did you choose Perficient, and why do you remain #ProudlyPerficient?

I joined Perficient through an acquisition, but I stayed because I enjoy working here. It’s the people that make the difference. I’ve had many managers, but everyone has been great. The people are who make it enjoyable to work here.

If you had to define yourself using one Perficient value, which would it be and why?

I would probably say a few, but I think integrity is one of the most important. If you don’t have integrity, then you don’t have anything. People and collaboration are also incredibly important.

Perficient believes in a strong work/life balance. What is one way you accomplish this? 

I do not work on the weekends. Remote work allows me to get up and go walking, then stop work at a decent time to be with my family.

What are you passionate about outside of work? 

I love to cook. I’m also passionate about pets and animals. It’s one of my goals to travel more. I have been to many places in the U.S., but I just recently went out of the country for the first time. I went to Dublin, Ireland! I love talking to locals wherever I go because it’s a great way to learn more about the culture. The people I met in Dublin were incredible.

People of Perficient: Meet Kaushal Shah, Lead Business Consultant

Our consultants bring decades of deep industry and technical experience to help our client’s build strategies for an evolving market and solve complex technical challenges. I recently connected with Kaushal Shah, lead business consultant at Perficient to discuss his 20+ years of experience in IT quality, validation, and regulations management.

Thanks for joining me today, Kaushal. I’d love to kick off with hearing more about your role at our global digital consultancy. How are you making a difference for our clients, colleagues, and communities?

Kaushal enjoying time with family

When I joined Perficient in May of 2020, I brought positivity, dedication, and more than twenty years of software quality and validation experience within healthcare and pharma.

As a lead business consultant in the computer system validation department, I plan, write, implement, and review the computer systems validation plan and protocols within highly regulated industries.

I also manage test management systems and application testing cycles for different client projects. Throughout the project lifecycle, I play a significant role in the requirements, qualification testing, and implementation phases.

I engage with clients to understand the project’s validation, related expectations, and requirements for successful delivery, including:

User requirements specifications
Validation plans
Risk assessment reports
Functional and technical specifications reviews
Test plans
IQ, OQ, and PQ protocol & reports
Deviation management
Validation summary reports

I am also involved in updating relevant SOPs, related to quality assessment of software and computer system suppliers, according to applicable business requirements and company procedures.

At Perficient, I am continuing to grow my knowledge and experience in the healthcare industry.

My team acknowledges the sincerity and dedication I put into every responsibility and task assigned to me. We contribute to each other’s growth constantly. We all bring different functional and technical expertise to support one, culturally and professionally diverse team.

Meet More Lead Business Consultants: People of Perficient: Meet Our Lead Business Consultants

What do you value most in your role?

I love being able to use the expertise I have acquired over the years in quality and validation management.

I value the trust and support I receive from my Perficient team and my client teams to successfully validate the system. I am so grateful for Perficient! The opportunity to represent Perficient to clients through my work is very valuable. I get to learn more about the healthcare industry every day.

What made you decide to work for Perficient? What makes you stay and want to do your best work?

I consider Perficient to be the best in the regulated and technology consulting industry. It has seen exponential growth and still has a lot of potential to continue to grow. The work environment is great. Perficient always values people and ideas.

The company recognizes individuals despite being a large company with a great number of colleagues across the continents. In addition to all this, Perficient has great advancement possibilities. I also have work-life balance at Perficient. This has enabled me to learn Indian classical music- a lifelong dream!

EXPLORE NOW: Culture and Connections

How is a culture of inclusion important to our success?

Due to diverse culture within our teams, we enable our people to exceed our clients’ expectations and grow with Perficient. The factors that enable my teams to achieve this growth include:

Establishing processes of assisting collaboration across multiple geographies, ensuring that everyone gets the support they need
Triggering processes to show professionals when opportunities arise

In this second blog of our series celebrating our 2023 Top Workplaces USA award, we’re focusing on how Perficient and our colleagues are prioritizing and enabling Growth for Everyone.

Building a culture that champions the accomplishments of every individual, both personally and professionally, is incredibly important. Growth looks different for everyone, and we’re proud to offer professional development resources, training programs, and tools aimed at guiding every colleague on their path toward success. Growth for Everyone inspires all colleagues to reach their full potential. Listen to our colleagues as they share their experience advancing their careers at Perficient.

“You have the ability to go out there and grow your own skill set,” said Mwandama Mutanuka, managing director, Automation. “So, depending on how ambitious you are, the company is willing to invest in you by giving you mentors that work with you. Then you can go out there and build your own skill set.”

Celebrating Perficient’s Recognition as a 2023 Top Workplace USA

Thu, 29 Jun 2023 20:46:41 +0000

Our success is defined by our people. With more than 7,500 colleagues across the globe, we are connected by a sense of pride and a drive to make a difference for others. Perficient was recently honored as a 2023 Top Workplace USA, which recognizes companies nationally for their people-centric work culture.

Our teams around the world are committed to creating a unified, inclusive culture that supports and celebrates one another, and this award honors the impact that our people and company are making on a global scale. Earlier this year, U.S. colleagues were invited to share their experience about working at Perficient in a voluntary survey with Energage, an employee and research technology firm. The results were then compared against the Top Workplaces benchmark, which resulted in Perficient being ranked 12^th in the nationwide lineup – making us the highest-ranked digital consultancy in our category.

This achievement is no small feat, and it’s unique in that results are solely based on the feedback of our colleagues. We’re proud to add this tremendous recognition to our growing list of company awards, which also includes recent top workplace recognition for our St. Louis, Ohio, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Atlanta offices.

For Lorena Fernandez, project manager, Argentina, the chance to build relationships with global colleagues makes her proud to work at Perficient.

“Being a part of Perficient gives us opportunities to grow and learn, while also interacting with different partners and people around the world,” said Lorena. “We have different employee groups, and we’re also trying to improve the connection with different people and contribute to society.”

The contributions of our colleagues truly do make a difference and serve as an example to others of incredible leadership. “I am proudly Perficient because I know that the work that I do matters,” said Felicia Johnson, portfolio specialist, Experience Design Sales. “It is not just about how I am measured, but it’s also about the contributions that I make even outside of that. I am looked upon as somebody who is a leader and can think for themselves and speak for others when they cannot speak inside the organization.”
