Our Commitment to Pursuing Progress Through Perficient’s People Promise
As shared in Perficient’s People Promise, we’re committed to challenging, championing, and celebrating our people. With more than 7,000 global colleagues, Perficient is forging the future for our people by creating an environment as diverse and talented as the clients we work with. One way we achieve this is through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which play a crucial role in fostering a workplace where every colleague feels heard, valued, and supported, reinforcing our commitment to inclusivity and professional growth.
Colleagues can share their feedback about the Perficient colleague experience through our annual Employee Engagement Survey. Responses shared through the survey help us continue to build an award-winning culture where everyone can thrive. We partner with Perceptyx, an independent analytics firm, to administer the survey and ensure actionable transparent insights. Perceptyx recently honored Perficient with an EX Impact Award for effectively leveraging employee feedback to drive meaningful change and elevate the colleague experience. We were recognized in the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) category, highlighting our success in transforming colleague insights into impactful initiatives through our ERGs.
