What our members love about POPs

Testimonial Image

"Being part of the People Over Perks community is truly great as we share experiences, swap ideas, and laugh about the ups and downs of HR life, especially the "we've all been there" moments that you wouldn't believe unless you, well, have been there. It’s a supportive, judgment-free zone built on genuine connection, curiosity, and care for one another. I’m happy to have found this community because everyone needs a safe space - here, you have a people team for the people team.
