ATLANTA (December 19, 2022) — Rural Sourcing (RSI) has been named one of the Top 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation. For the past five years RSI has been included on the annual Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation list, and with this latest recognition the company is placed in an elite position.
RSI has stayed committed to the growth and development of its colleagues throughout the company’s national expansion. In November 2021, RSI announced the opening of two new development centers in Buffalo, N.Y. and Baton Rouge, La. and shortly thereafter hired Chief People Officer Robin Stenzel to drive the company’s colleague growth and well-being programs.
“Rural Sourcing has created a culture where every colleague is celebrated,” said Robin Stenzel, Chief People Officer at Rural Sourcing. “This commitment to growing careers and building teams has been paramount to the company’s growth. Their contributions to our clients’ success have propelled us as an organization and we can’t thank them enough for their dedication to their clients, communities and each other.”
The national winning companies were assessed by an independent research firm which reviewed a number of key measures relative to other nationally recognized winners. With over 20 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business Resources (NABR) have identified numerous best Human Resource practices and provided benchmarking for companies that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
“These companies excelled to the very top of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For at a national level, in my ways they are years ahead of the business community as it relates to culture, engagement and Human Resource trends,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs.
