In this episode of the Know Your Why podcast, host Jason Balara sits down with Jordan Peace, co-founder and CEO of Fringe, to discuss how companies can revolutionize the employee experience through lifestyle benefits. Jordan shares how Fringe is redefining employee engagement by offering tangible, everyday perks that improve people’s lives beyond the workplace. The conversation explores how traditional benefits often fail to connect with employees, the evolving role of HR technology, and the power of recognition and wellness in creating a thriving company culture. Jordan also reflects on his personal “why” — building meaningful workplace relationships and helping businesses prioritize people over profit.Key Highlights:- Fringe helps companies offer lifestyle benefits that employees can actually use and enjoy.- Many employees undervalue traditional benefits because they’re confusing or inaccessible.- The future of employee engagement lies in personalization and tangible value.- Company culture drives satisfaction, retention, and overall business success.- Happy employees translate directly into better customer experiences.- Consolidating employee benefits into one accessible platform simplifies HR processes.- Investing in people and relationships leads to long-term company growth.- Recognition and wellness programs are key to workplace motivation and loyalty.- Financial gain should never outweigh the importance of building strong relationships.- Company culture will continue to be the defining competitive edge in the modern workplace.Jordan’s insights remind us that workplace success starts with people, not policies. By focusing on genuine employee engagement, meaningful benefits, and authentic culture, leaders can create environments where both businesses and individuals thrive.
