We are proud to announce that for the sixth consecutive year, Perficient has been named a Top Workplace in Detroit. This recognition celebrates our team’s dedication, culture, and commitment to excellence. This recognition is granted by the Detroit Free Press in collaboration with Energage, and its importance is amplified by the fact that it is primarily based on feedback from our employees. Being honored as a Top Workplace highlights the incredible environment our Detroit team has created—a place where collaboration, innovation, and personal growth flourish every day.

Fostering Connection

Building strong connections at Perficient Detroit goes beyond the workplace. Throughout the year, the team participates in a variety of activities that strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. From sunny days spent at the annual picnic to cheering on the Detroit Tigers at the ballpark, these events foster camaraderie and bring the team closer. These shared experiences reinforce a sense of unity and help recharge the team, fueling enthusiasm for their work.

Giving Back to the Community

The Detroit team’s commitment to the community extends beyond the office through their volunteer efforts. This year, they partnered

with Life Remodeled, contributing time and effort to help revitalize local neighborhoods. Additionally, the team participated in the Kidney Walk, where they exceeded their fundraising goal of $3,000, demonstrating their dedication to supporting important causes and making a difference in the lives of others.

Perficient has collaborated with the Mark Cuban Foundation over the past few years to offer high school students the opportunity to participate in free Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bootcamps. Detroit is one of the locations where these immersive bootcamps are hosted, introducing students to the world of AI through educational seminars, interactive lessons, and hands-on lab exercises. Our Detroit colleagues play a critical role in these camps, volunteering their time and expertise to guide students through the curriculum. This collaboration not only provides valuable learning experiences for students but also opens their eyes to new career possibilities in technology.

Leadership Perspective

Managing Director of Perficient’s Detroit office, Michelle Blakeley shared, “Being recognized as a top place to work for the sixth consecutive year is a testament to the incredible talent, passion, and dedication within our Detroit business unit. Our team’s commitment to excellence and innovation continues to drive us forward, making Perficient not just a workplace, but a community. This achievement reaffirms our focus on fostering an environment where every team member can thrive and make an impact.”

Perficient’s Detroit team continues to push boundaries, working hard while maintaining a strong sense of community. The consistent recognition year after year speaks to the enduring dedication of our people and the collaborative spirit that defines Perficient’s success.

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.

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.

The Top Workplace award is a testament to our exceptional work environment and incredible company culture. Not to mention, this marks the second consecutive year we have received this honor.

Winning a Top Workplace award is particularly meaningful as it is based solely on anonymous employee feedback.

Perficient’s consistent inclusion on this prestigious list speaks volumes of our ongoing efforts to nurture a supportive and inspiring work environment for all.

Behind the Award

Top Workplaces recognizes leading companies in both regional and national programs across the U.S. The awards are based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey that uniquely measures 15 drivers that are critical to the success of any organization.

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.

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.

We are excited to announce that Perficient has been named a 2023 Top Workplace in Atlanta by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution once again! This win is a testament to our company’s incredible culture, and we are excited to add it to our growing list of honors and awards won by Perficient offices around the country.

How did we win?

Every year, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and employment research firm Energage come together to determine the top workplaces in metro Atlanta. The award recognizes leading companies in both regional and national programs across North America and recognizes the most progressive companies based on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage. The survey gathers responses to 24 factors covering seven areas, including organizational health factors relating to workplace culture. Through this method, this recognition is based solely on feedback gathered directly from employees, ensuring the results are as accurate as possible. Perficient is 1 of only 175 companies in Atlanta to be recognized on our commitment to our employees.

Our employees are what continue to make us a Best Place to Work, and every year we look forward to seeing how our culture continues to through the upcoming years.

We are excited to announce that Perficient has once again been named a 2022 Top Workplace in Michigan by The Detroit Free Press! This is the fourth consecutive year that our Detroit office has received this recognition (2019, 2020, 2021) – proof that our team is fully embracing and living out the Perficient culture.

The winning companies were announced in the November 20th edition of the Detroit Free Press, and representatives from each company were invited to attend an awards dinner on November 15th.

How are Top Workplaces Determined?

One of the coolest parts about earning a Top Workplace award is that the recognition is based solely on feedback gathered directly from our employees. The award recognizes leading companies in both regional and national programs across North America and recognizes the most progressive companies based on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization. These include alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few!

So What Makes Us a Top Workplace?

A key part of the culture in our Detroit office is the team’s commitment to its community. The team is always looking for ways to give back and get involved, and 2022 has been one busy year for them!

Bright Paths Program

This past October marked the end of the third cohort of Perficient’s Bright Paths Program in Detroit. This program is a free, award-winning, custom coding boot camp. It is designed to advance STEM education and career opportunities for underrepresented constituencies and communities, run in partnership with Strayer University’s learning paths. Several members of our Detroit team are heavily involved with Bright Paths, participating as mentors and teachers to the students. Three cohorts have been offered in Detroit since its inception, delivering dozens of graduates into the workforce. Several of these graduates enjoyed the Perficient culture so much that they are now Perficient Detroit employees themselves!

MCWT

The Detroit team is also heavily engaged with the Michigan Council of Women in Technology (MCWT), earning Platinum Partner level in 2022. MCWT is a multi-faceted philanthropic organization committed to engaging current and future technology leaders. Perficient supports this organization through yearly donations and event sponsorships that help fund its goals, mission and values.

Hands-On Volunteering

Throughout the year, our team enjoys being hands-on with their community impact as well. In May 2022, the team took part in the Kidney Walk at the Detroit Zoo, supporting the National Kidney Foundation. Our team raised a whopping $3,194, putting us in the top 3 largest donor companies in attendance.

This past September, our Detroit office participated in a company-wide Hunger Action Month contest that was led by Perficient’s Giving ERG (Employee Resource Group). Offices around the country competed to see who could make the largest impact in their area through food donations, advocacy email sends, and volunteering. The Detroit team was thrilled to participate in this contest and helped Perficient reach an overall total of 5,624 meals that were donated to local food banks.

Most recently, some of our Detroit colleagues went above and beyond to help their city by volunteering their time with Life Remodeled. Life Remodeled focuses on the intentional and equitable revitalization of Detroit neighborhoods distinguished by their significant need and radical hope. Volunteers participated in Life Remodeled’s 6-day project where they cleaned up blight from yards of vacant properties in Detroit, specifically the 150 blocks around Cooley high school.

What’s Next for the Team?

The Perficient Detroit team is an incredible group, and we are proud to be called a 2022 Top Workplace. We know that 2023 will bring further involvement in items like MCWT and Bright Paths. Our team is excited to see what other awesome opportunities come our way to further our team’s bond and our company’s culture!

This win adds to our growing list of achievements which can be found in full on our awards and recognitions page.

People are at the core of who we are and what we do at Perficient, and we work to cultivate a culture that challenges and champions great people every day. We are thrilled to announce that this culture has earned Perficient recognition as a 2022 Top Workplaces National Standard winner in the Dallas-Fort Worth area! This recognition comes from The Dallas Morning News in partnership with Energage and is primarily awarded based on employee feedback.

This team is a close-knit group that genuinely enjoys spending time with one another. Our General Manager sums it up perfectly:

It is an honor to be recognized as a Top Workplace in Dallas. Our team is truly one-of-a-kind. Our Dallas colleagues are passionate, engaged and client-focused.

We do a lot to help our colleagues understand how their work is meaningful, particularly in how their work impacts our clients. One of our primary objectives is to help every colleague work at their full potential and to craft and experience a challenging, rewarding career path for themselves at Perficient.

– Erin Moloney, General Manager

From intentional local colleague appreciation and recognition, community engagement, local market activities, and festive cultural gatherings, the Dallas team at Perficient offers many incredible opportunities to engage and enjoy working together as a 2022 Top Workplace.

Embracing Our Community

Perficient does a lot for the communities we are located in, with our Dallas office being especially involved locally.

Back in 2019, we announced a partnership with the Dallas Mavericks NBA Franchise that included courtside and digital signage along with home game tickets throughout the season. Many of our Dallas colleagues are avid Mavericks fans and partnering with the team is a fun perk each year. And let’s face it – it’s pretty cool seeing your company’s logo courtside too!

Another huge part of the culture in our Dallas office is the team’s dedication to advancing STEM education opportunities within the metropolitan area. Over the past few years, our team has partnered with the Mark Cuban Foundation to host Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bootcamps for high school students, at no cost to the student. These bootcamps introduce students to the concepts of AI through educational seminars, interactive lessons, and lab exercises. Our Dallas colleagues are invited to volunteer for sessions to share their expertise and be hands-on with making a difference in these students’ lives.

Perficient’s Bright Paths Program is also launching a new training camp in Dallas, furthering our support of STEM education. The Bright Paths Program is a coding bootcamp and software engineering program designed to equip students from underrepresented communities with the skills to start their journey toward a career in technology. We have had massive success with this program in Detroit and Minneapolis recently, and our Dallas team is ecstatic to be supporting the program and expanding our company’s impact within the Dallas-Fort Worth community.

Check out some of the other events our team has supported in 2022 including a Toyota SWARM Hackathon and a Virtual Design-a-Thon hosted by the Mark Cuban Foundation.

Celebrating Our People

While the Dallas team has a lot going on outside of the office that brings them together, there is no shortage of internal culture events for this group. Dallas colleagues are invited to attend a Town Hall every month to cover company updates, colleague shoutouts, client project highlights, recent wins and successes and more. The Dallas team is always adding a fun factor to add some excitement. Food and beverages are provided for colleagues who join in-person, and a themed happy hour follows the meeting.

For example, this past summer, the team hosted a Luau-themed happy hour and folks were invited to wear matching attire and use themed Teams backgrounds if joining virtually. Most recently, the team hosted a costume contest during the October town hall that featured lots of creativity and some friendly competition among participants.

Speaking of competition – our Dallas office also participated in a company-wide Hunger Action Month contest in September that was led by our Giving ERG (Employee Resource Group). Offices around the country competed to see who could make the largest impact in their area through food donations, advocacy email sends, and volunteering. The Dallas team went all-in on this contest and helped Perficient reach an overall total of 5,624 meals that were donated to local food banks. Several colleagues made an additional contribution by volunteering their time to LovePacs in Dallas to further the team’s impact.

Challenging and Championing Our Colleagues

Our Dallas team makes it a priority to share our stories and our gratitude for one another, both in person and virtually. Each month, in our town hall meeting, local leadership recognizes “shoutouts” from colleague to their peers for a job well done. Employees are applauded and appreciated in person for their contributions. Additionally, Dallas colleagues at all levels are invited to stand up and tell their story about a unique colleague experience, a special project, or a client project they’ve completed.

The Perficient Dallas team is one-of-a-kind, and we are proud to be called a 2022 Top Workplace. This win adds to our growing list of achievements which can be found in full on our awards and recognitions page. We can’t wait to see what this group does next!

Meet the Award Winning St. Louis Team

As Perficient’s global headquarters, our St. Louis team is over 230 employees strong and continuing to grow. It’s no surprise that this group is actively involved both in and out of the office and ready to make a positive impact. That said, if they’re not cheering on one of our various sports partners or planning social and culture events, they’re helping out where they can.

The team supports a variety of service initiatives. Giving back to the community that we live and work is an important aspect to our team. For instance, spreading holiday cheer at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is a tradition for our colleagues. Light Up Glennon invites the St. Louis community to sing carols, shine lights, and spread cheer to patients. In addition, the team hosts numerous drives to support local charities including drives for food, pet supplies, and back to school supplies. Above all the team is always ready to roll up their sleeves and get involved with their community.

Here’s a glance into how the St. Louis team is making their mark:

During the height of the COVID pandemic, the team maintained their strong company culture in a 100% virtual environment. Now, as the team transitions to a hybrid work model, in-person activities are coming back. The team is already planning a variety of events and colleagues are excited to see what’s in store for the 2022 year.
