Investing in our people
empowering our staff – 100% EMPLOYEE-OWNED
The RRM ESOP is a Trust created for the benefit of the employee members. The Plan is approved by the IRS and is a form of retirement plan, regulated much like a 401K plan by strict IRS and Department of Labor rules and procedures. As an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) corporation, all RRM staff have an ownership interest in the company. This is a direct reflection of our culture, one that is a supportive team. We are all striving to grow this company forward so that we can continue to create projects that promote sustainability and social good, giving back to our communities we live and work in and supporting staff so they can support their families. We are a team working together towards common goals.

RRM’s “1000 HOURS” Program
WHAT IS IT?
This initiative was born from a “blue sky” all staff meeting we held where we asked our staff one simple question; what can we do as a firm to impact the greater good? Hundreds of ideas were born from that meeting, including the 1000 Hours initiative. The core idea was that if every one of our staff members were to donate their time, we could provide 1000 hours of volunteer time to the communities we live and work.
Every employee is offered paid time off to volunteer at a volunteer organization of their choice. We encourage each staff member to post pictures and videos of their opportunities to our internal Facebook page, and at staff meetings to share their volunteer passions with other staff members and to encourage others to attend with them.
HOW IT WORKS
Every employee is offered four to eight hours of paid volunteer time off depending on how many hours they work per week. Volunteer time off does not cut into sick or vacation time; it is a tangible benefit above one’s regular personal time off and is not time that needs to be accrued.
WANT TO JOIN IN?
We would love for other businesses in the area to join us in providing a similar program. Call us with any questions about implementation, or to suggest local volunteer opportunities!
