**Calgary, Alberta (November 23, 2023)** – Rümi, Powered by ATCO (Rümi), is thrilled to announce its selection as one of the recipients of the Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ Award for 2023. Established by Waterstone Human Capital, a leading cultural talent management firm in Canada, this annual initiative honors organizations whose cultures enhance employee performance and provide a competitive edge in their respective industries.
Under the Rümi umbrella lie three distinct business divisions: Rümi Home Services, ATCOenergy, and Blue Flame Kitchen (BFK). Whether you're looking to tackle household chores, select an electricity or natural gas plan, or experiment with new recipes, Rümi serves as your one-stop home services provider. Since its founding, the company has earned a reputation for its unwavering focus on cultivating a workplace culture that inspires and empowers employees—affectionately known as 'Rümineers' throughout Alberta.
"We owe this recognition to the unwavering commitment of our entire team and their pivotal role in developing this culture we’re honored to be celebrated for," said Sarah Francis, Vice President of People and Customer Engagement at Rümi. "Our approach to creating an engaging and adaptable work environment ensures our team feels appreciated. We believe Rümi has set a new standard, and we’re thrilled to receive nationwide recognition for the unique and innovative initiatives we’re continuously developing."
Rümi’s corporate culture is built on three core pillars: fostering a sense of belonging, promoting happiness, and encouraging a trailblazing spirit. These principles guide not only how Rümi interacts with its customers but also how employees treat one another. The company’s emphasis on collaboration inspires Rümineers to bring their true selves to work, fostering a creative and innovative atmosphere.
Diversity and inclusion are central to Rümi’s values, evident in its leadership team, which comprises 60% women. The company also prioritizes career advancement and continuous learning, offering a range of training programs, leadership workshops, and educational assistance. Additionally, Rümi integrates joy into its work culture through various initiatives, such as the quarterly ÜShine award, which highlights Rümineers exemplifying the company’s values. Rümi also takes pride in its #RümiLife benefits, developed in collaboration with employee feedback, promoting a healthy work-life balance and positive mindset.
"The 2023 Canada’s Most Admired award recipients demonstrate how culture propels performance, particularly amidst economic uncertainties and recruitment 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 utilizing culture to fuel growth and success in today’s fiercely competitive talent market through the acquisition, retention, and optimization of high-performing leaders, teams, and corporate cultures."
Rümi is more than just a workplace—it’s a vibrant ecosystem where its team of Rümineers feel both valued and integral to the organization’s shared success. The company will be officially recognized at an awards ceremony in April 2024 alongside other honorees.
