Perk | The easiest way to manage employee perks & stipends
Perk
Introduction
Perk is a comprehensive employee rewards and benefits platform designed to modernize corporate stipends and incentive programs.

By allowing employees to choose the rewards that best fit their lifestyles—such as wellness, learning, or remote work setups—Perk helps organizations improve employee retention, satisfaction, and overall engagement.
