Nail salon, juice bar and game room for children among perks aimed at female employees.

With upwards of 98 percent of her employees being women, Kendra Scott has outfitted her headquarters in Austin, TX with all of the amenities that her staff could ask for, as Yahoo explains. A nail salon, a juice bar and a fully equipped workout room are just a few of the features, says the article, noting the sophisticated interior that you’d expect the offices of a prominent jewelry designer to look like.

“Behind the reception desk is a wall made entirely of agate stones. The custom light fixtures in the office are dripping with stones and metals they use to create their products. There is a room full of snacks, options from floor to ceiling. If an employee has a chipped manicure (or a bad day), she can mosey on over to the on-site nail salon offering complimentary manis and pedis — with the brand’s nail polish options (coming at the end of August) on full display as you walk in. … There is a mother’s room, where moms can freely pump breast milk and store it in the fridge. There is a game room for children to enjoy while their parents are working. You’ll find a wall announcing and celebrating all the new moms in the office.”

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
