Little Rock - Any business owner will tell you that good help is hard to find. Motivating employees to work harder and more efficiently is difficult. But a Little Rock company has based their bottom line on that very concept.
The company is called Perks.Com and it's located right down the street in the River Market District. The company has made their home in Little Rock. They hope their concept will make money for their clients and the people who work for them.
Who wouldn't work a little harder if they knew they would receive a perks for their extra effort. That is the notion behind Little Rock based company Perks.Com.
(Ron Logan, Perks.Com)"We're an incentive based company…we help companies motivate their staff."
The company started four years ago and has since grown dramatically. Logan credits the location of Little Rock and talented local staffs for making this company grow.
(Logan)"Doing great…double digit profitability...our staff is growing as well."
The concept is simple: reward employees who outperform others with incentives like vacations, cruises or large ticket items appliances and electronics.
(Logan)"It makes the experience of being rewarded a lot more personal."
Dominick Mjartan is the Perks.Com Program Director. He says workers respond to perks in a different way than they would a financial reward.
(Dominik Mjartan, Program Director)"One of the things is being recognized…is the monetary aspect of receiving extra cash...trying easy to convince...g…the last quarter."
Logan says the company works mostly with Fortune 500 Companies - specifically a lot of call centers. They design programs to monitor productivity and reward those who are doing well. The corporate culture of Perks.Com is a perk in itself.
(Mjartan)"We like to play and it gives us a chance to play at work."
It makes sense - a good work environment can only make your employees happier and in turn more efficient. By offering them perks...Perks.Com hopes they too will flourish.
(Mjartan)"It's good for performance…it's good for retention and it motivates our employees."
