For the second year in a row, Rümi has been recognized as one of Alberta’s Top 75 Employers! We’re incredibly proud of this achievement and it’s a testament to the culture we’ve built here. One of the things that makes us truly unique is our deep commitment to the communities we serve. It's not just about work — it's about making a difference, both inside and outside the office.
We've always believed that a balanced life is key to long-term success. And that balance isn’t something you can achieve alone. It takes a team effort, from your daily routine to the bigger picture of your career. Companies that invest in their people create environments where employees feel valued, supported, and excited to come to work every day. If you're someone who feels like work is just a chore, then maybe you're not in the right place. Or perhaps you are, but the company just hasn't prioritized community and culture the way it should.
There are so many reasons why companies should encourage their employees to get involved in the community. It benefits everyone — from the employees to the organization itself. Here are five powerful reasons why community investment matters:
**1. Personal Growth Opportunities**
Volunteering gives you a chance to develop new skills that you might not use in your everyday job. Whether it's leadership, communication, or project management, these experiences can help you grow professionally and even open up new career paths within your company. You might discover a passion you never knew you had, or gain insights that could shape your future.
**2. Increased Engagement**
When employees volunteer together, it builds stronger connections. These shared experiences lead to better teamwork, trust, and communication. It’s amazing how bonding over a common cause can bring people closer, creating a more positive and supportive work environment.
**3. Alignment with Values**
People today are looking for jobs that reflect their personal values. When a company actively supports community initiatives, it shows that they care about more than just profit. This kind of alignment fosters loyalty and creates a sense of purpose among employees.
**4. Attracting and Retaining Talent**
Top talent wants to work for companies that are ethical, engaged, and socially responsible. A strong community investment program can make your company more attractive to potential hires and help retain the best people. High turnover is costly and stressful — investing in your employees’ well-being pays off in the long run.
**5. Boosting Performance and Morale**
Employees who feel connected to their workplace and their community are more motivated, productive, and satisfied. This leads to better results for the company and a more fulfilling experience for everyone involved. When people are happy and inspired, they perform at their best.
So, if your company doesn’t have a community initiative, consider bringing it up with your leadership. If not, maybe it's time to look for a workplace that already values these things — like Rümi.
This is our second year being named one of Alberta’s Top 75 Employers, and it’s because our team loves what they do and feels empowered to make a difference. At Rümi, we believe that when people feel connected to their work and their community, they thrive. That’s why we’re passionate about giving back throughout the year — and it shows in the energy and enthusiasm we bring to the office every day.
One of our own Rümineers recently wrote this blog, reflecting on the meaningful community experiences they’ve had since joining the team. It’s a reminder of why we do what we do — and why we’re so proud to be part of something bigger.
