The strength of our culture is evident in how we live and breathe as a company and how we engage with our employees and our customers day to day. Through our own award-winning innovations, like Mutual Fun® and our practice of mutual respect, collaboration, trust, integrity, creative thinking and outcome-focused behaviors, we deliver impressive results and exceptional value to those we are privileged to serve.

Q & A
Why does Rite-Solutions put so much emphasis on company culture?
For starters, the “rite” culture makes work fun! We spend much of our waking time with co-workers. We should enjoy that time together. (See the One of the F.E.W. section above about Friends Enjoying Work). The “rite” culture can also produce a number of benefits for the organization, such as improved recruiting, retention, employee engagement, collaboration, productivity and innovation. It’s a proverbial win-win for everyone!

What role did culture play in founding the company?
The three founders, with extensive experience in typical top-down organizations, wanted to start their own company based on three fundamental precepts that are, two decades later, still core components of our culture:
- Work should be more fun (basis of our F.E.W. principle)
- The company should be more like a community than a corporation (more in line with our experience in every other facet of life)
- Good ideas can come from anywhere (no one is smarter than everyone), hence an organizational design that is not based on a strict chain-of-command mentality
