Atiba's Personal Perks Program: Reimagining Employee Retention
Abstract
This case examines Atiba, a Nashville-based technology company's innovative approach to employee retention through its Personal Perks Program. The program, implemented by founder and CEO JJ Rosen, represents a departure from standardized corporate benefits by offering individualized perks based on personal employee needs and interests. Through the experiences of HR leadership and CEO perspectives, the case explores how this personalized approach impacts employee engagement, retention, and organizational culture in a growing company of 64 employees across multiple states. The case highlights how this customized benefits approach helped Atiba retain key talent despite competing offers from industry giants like Amazon. Additionally, it presents critical questions about the scalability and sustainability of personalized benefits programs in modern workplace settings. This case is particularly relevant for undergraduate and graduate courses in human resources management, organizational behavior, and employee benefits.
