Core Value Focus:
Exceptional Client Experience
We aim to surpass the expectations of both our internal (coworkers) and external clients with urgency in every interaction.
Great current examples of how this is being done:
Shifting the Lubben job from RSC to HCR so that Sue can get her laundry room completed as soon as possible.
Casey reaching out to clients the day before to remind them of upcoming meetings.
Kelly and Jill scouring the internet to find just the right materials to meet the needs/desires of customers.
Project managers and field staff responding to afterhours messages to keep customer aware of what's going on and keeping the project moving forward.
Field crews taking time to clean up after they are done to keep homeowners safe for the night.
HR Benefit Reminder
SIMPLE IRA
Plan for your future and save for your retirement! As a reminder, Riverside will match what you take out of your paycheck (up to 3%) and put it into a SIMPLE IRA through Cornerstone financial. This money is yours and will continue to grow as a long term investment. It also can reduce your tax due. It's like getting 3% added to your pay! If you are behind on retirement you can choose to take any percentage out of your paycheck.
If you are interested in starting this benefit, reach out to Jen! I'll have Cornerstone reach out to you to start the process!
