However, even for individuals who are newer to the concept of ESOPs and the associated benefits, R&K has revised its policies to encourage them to integrate into the company culture sooner rather than later. This is done especially well through the company’s revised entry schedule, which allows employees to start participating in the ESOP much sooner than before. Initially, employees had to complete 1,000 hours of employment and wait a year to become participants. Recognizing the need for more rapid induction, R&K revised this policy so that employees now become participants upon receiving their first paycheck. This immediate inclusion helps new employees feel invested in the company from the start. Vesting occurs over five years, with 20% vested each year, ensuring employees are fully vested after five years.

Employees at R&K are not just workers; they are owners who share in the company’s growth and success. Employees today seek more than just a paycheck; they want to be part of an owner community with shared goals and values, and this ownership culture has created a cohesive team committed to the company and its clients. 116 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 07
