Rümi, Powered by ATCO, receives Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ Award
Presented by Waterstone Human Capital, prestigious award recognizes Rümi for its best-in-class corporate culture
Calgary, Alberta (November 23, 2023) – Rümi, Powered by ATCO (Rümi), is thrilled to announce it has been recognized as one of the recipients of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ Award for 2023. Founded by Waterstone Human Capital, Canada’s leading cultural talent management firm, this annual program awards organizations for having cultures that enhance employee performance and sustain a competitive advantage in their industry.
Under the Rümi banner are three lines of businesses: Rümi Home Services, ATCOenergy and Blue Flame Kitchen (BFK). Whether you need help crossing home maintenance items off your to-do list, choosing an electricity or natural gas plan, or trying something new in the kitchen, Rümi is an all-in-one home services provider. Since its inception, the company has become known for its dedication to fostering a corporate culture that inspires and empowers employees – employees known around Alberta as ‘Rümineers’.
“We owe this achievement to the unwavering dedication of everyone on our team and their vital role in co-creating this culture that we’re so honoured to be recognized for,” said Sarah Francis, Vice President of People and Customer Engagement, Rümi. “Our approach to making Rümi an engaging and agile workplace creates a space where our team of Rümineers feel valued. We think we broke the mold with Rümi and we’re thrilled to be recognized Canada-wide for all the unique and innovative initiatives we’re working so hard to build.”
Rümi has proudly cultivated a corporate culture grounded in three pillars: fostering a sense of belonging, creating happiness and championing a trailblazing spirit. These pillars define how Rümi treats its customers but also how employees treat each other. The company’s drive for fostering a collaborative culture encourages Rümineers to bring their authentic selves to work, inspiring a culture of creativity and innovation.
Diversity and inclusion are core to Rümi’s values, evident in its leadership team, which boasts a 60 per cent female composition. The company is also committed to providing ample opportunities for career advancement and continuous learning, offering a variety of training programs, leadership workshops and educational assistance. Additionally, Rümi emphasizes integrating joy into its work culture, celebrating achievements through various initiatives such as the quarterly ÜShine award which spotlights Rümineers who embody the company’s values. Rümi also takes pride in its #RümiLife benefits, co-created with employee input, fostering a healthy work-life balance and positive mindset.
“The 2023 Canada’s Most Admired award recipients exemplify how culture drives performance, especially in the face of economic uncertainty and other recruitment and retention challenges,” said Marty Parker, President and CEO of Waterstone Human Capital and Chair of the Canada’s Most Admired™ program. “This year’s winners are leveraging culture to drive growth and success in today’s highly competitive talent market through the acquisition, retention, and optimization of high-performance leaders, teams, and corporate cultures.”
Rümi is more than just a workplace; it's a dynamic environment where its team of Rümineers feel not only valued but also as an integral part of the organization's collective success. The company will be formally recognized at an awards banquet in April 2024 alongside other winners.
