Case Study: Rustic Countrysides achieves improved hiring and streamlined benefits administration with PeopleKeep's WorkPerks

Rustic Countrysides boosts its benefits package with perk stipends offered through PeopleKeep’s WorkPerks

Rustic Countrysides, a 22-employee landscaping company in Rabun County, Georgia, needed an affordable, attractive benefit to compete in a tight labor market. General Manager Tom Hack wanted a customizable stipend but didn’t want the time-consuming work of self-administering reimbursements, so the company turned to PeopleKeep and its WorkPerks stipend solution.

PeopleKeep’s WorkPerks gave Rustic Countrysides a $200/month per-employee stipend across multiple categories (wellness, education, commuter, child care, etc.) on a reimbursement model managed through PeopleKeep’s online portal. The result: benefits administration now takes about two hours a month, employees report higher satisfaction, hiring competitiveness improved, and processes like exporting reimbursement data are simple—allowing Rustic Countrysides to offer a scalable, valuable perk without the administrative headache.
