Why the Confetti?
At The Perk, we take our work seriously—just not too seriously. We believe that leadership, culture, & growth thrive in environments that are engaging, energizing, & yes… sometimes a little messy. That’s why confetti is more than just a design choice for us—it’s a representation of what we stand for.
Confetti = Celebration & Recognition
Confetti isn’t just about parties; it’s about people. We believe in celebrating individuals for who they are & who they’re becoming. We celebrate effort, growth, & the messy, non-linear process of learning & leading. Research even backs this up—according to a Gallup study, employees who feel recognized are 63% more likely to stay at their jobs. Recognition fuels belonging, performance, & engagement. So yes, we throw confetti. Because the leaders & teams we work with deserve to be celebrated.
Confetti = Playful Learning That Works
Learning should be enjoyable. If leadership development feels like a corporate snooze-fest, what’s the point? People learn best when they’re engaged, curious, & having fun. Play & experimentation help unlock creativity, problem-solving, & deeper learning. The brain literally retains information better when it’s paired with positive emotions. Confetti reminds us to make room for joy in the process—because growth happens when we want to show up.

SIGN UPConfetti = Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone
You know what people are not used to seeing at work? Confetti. And that’s exactly why it matters.
Real transformation happens when we step outside of what’s predictable. Growth isn’t sparked by business-as-usual; it happens when we shake things up & challenge old ways of thinking. That’s why, when we come in to do a training, we intentionally set up the room differently from what people experience in their day-to-day work. The space, the energy, the activities—it’s all designed to signal that this isn’t just another meeting. It’s an opportunity to see things in a new way, to play, to experiment, & to stretch outside of our comfort zones.
Research shows that engaging in playful, unexpected activities builds adaptability—one of the most critical skills for high-performing teams. So yes, we use confetti. Because doing things differently leads to thinking differently, & that leads to breakthroughs.
Confetti = The Power of Micro-Moments
At The Perk, we believe culture isn’t built in one big moment—it’s created in the small, everyday actions that add up over time. Every time you give a meaningful shout-out, show appreciation, listen deeply, or spark joy at work, you’re adding a confetto—a tiny piece of something bigger. One small action might not seem like much, but when you multiply these micro-moments, they become a full-on culture of trust, belonging, & energy.
Just like a single piece of confetti is fun, but an explosion of confetti is unforgettable—when leaders & teams commit to intentional, positive interactions every day, they create a workplace that people don’t just tolerate—they love. That’s what we call Culture Confetti.
Confetti = Unapologetic Joy
Some people think being professional means being serious, stiff, & buttoned-up. We disagree. We think being professional means being effective, & effectiveness is fueled by enthusiasm, energy, & engagement. The most successful leaders & teams aren’t afraid to bring their whole selves to the table. Confetti is our way of saying: You can be joyful, bold, & brilliant—all at the same time.
Confetti = Our Superpower
At The Perk, confetti isn’t just a metaphor—it’s our superpower. It represents everything we stand for: celebrating people, bringing energy into learning, pushing teams beyond their comfort zones, & turning everyday moments into something remarkable.
We believe that great culture & leadership aren’t built by accident—they’re built by design. And when you design it right, when you infuse your workplace with recognition, fun, boldness, & meaningful connections, you don’t just create a company where people work. You create a company where people thrive.
So if you’re wondering, Why the confetti? The real question is: Why not? 🎉
