Our Journey
At RPIA, we prioritize employee engagement as a cornerstone of our culture by empowering and inspiring individuals to thrive in both their professional and personal lives. Guided by our core values (excellence, partnership, transparency, integrity, and community), we believe that employee engagement is not a one- time initiative but rather, an ongoing process that adapts to the needs of our people and the organization. In 2024, we elevated our employee engagement efforts by appointing a Chief People Officer to align our people strategies with the firm’s broader business objectives. This role has been instrumental in enhancing how we approach talent acquisition, development, and retention, ensuring that all aspects of the employee experience are designed to foster productivity, collaboration, and inclusivity. By intentionally aligning engagement with business priorities, we can create an environment where employees are empowered to succeed and feel connected to RPIA’s mission. We also focused on improving the efficacy of our communication channels to strengthen our One Team, One Culture mindset. These efforts reflect our commitment to fostering alignment, clarity, and shared purpose across the firm. Additionally, we’ve made strides in building structures and programs that better support recognition and tailored development, ensuring that employees feel valued for their contributions while receiving the resources they need to continue developing. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to embedding engagement into the core of our culture, fostering a workplace where employees feel supported, connected, and empowered to achieve their full potential.
Career Pathways In 2024, we strengthened our focus on career development by launching personalized Employee Development Plans across all departments, aligning individual goals with firm-wide objectives. We also finalized a competency framework (Career Pathways), providing transparency into the skills and expectations needed for success at every level of the organization. Our promotion rate increased from 12% in F2023 to 14% in F2024, reflecting our commitment to fostering leadership and creating clear career pathways for growth within the organization. By developing talent from within, we are building a strong pipeline of future leaders while providing employees greater opportunities to advance their careers and make an impact. We also continued offering tailored coaching and development opportunities, empowering employees to grow their skills and contribute to the firm’s success. Looking ahead: We will continue refining our career development strategies to align with the firm’s growth objectives, focusing on building internal leadership pipelines and providing employees with clear, actionable paths to advance their careers within RPIA.
