Riverside Payments recognized for Comparably's Happiest Employees and Best Company Perks & Benefits,

Riverside Payments Has Received Multiple Awards From Comparably’s 2022 Q3 Awards, Happiest Employees and Best Company Perks & Benefits

 Riverside Payments, an industry-leading credit card processing and merchant services organization, is proud to announce that it has been named as one of Comparably’s Best Companies for Employee Happiness for 2022 and Best Company Perks & Benefits for 2022. These accolades have been awarded based on over 15 million employee ratings across 70,000+ U.S. companies that were measured.

Michael Offutt, VP of People & Performance at Riverside Payments celebrates this achievement stating, “For the second consecutive quarter our workforce is celebrating our collective efforts to build a more inclusive and supportive culture for everyone, both in our offices and for our remote team members.  It is amazing to have our teams showcase their happiness and excitement with these efforts and I am proud to say this is just the beginning!”

Over the last year, Riverside Payments has placed a diligent focus on transforming its employee experience.  From technology-enablement, to changes to its compensation and benefits philosophy, each change has been run through the eyes of the employee.  With the creation of the People & Performance department in January 2022, people-focused initiatives became a primary strategic initiative for Riverside in 2022.

“It has been a lot of work!”, Michael adds. “We had to get very critical with ourselves and needed to listen to what mattered most to our team members.  The small changes have added up to great impact and our People & Performance team is ready to move into Q4 and 2023 with renewed excitement because we know what we are doing is working.”

Comparably Awards are based on sentiment feedback anonymously provided by employees about their workplaces in multiple categories on Comparably’s platform over a 12 month period.  Rankings were determined based on a combination of questions in 20 core culture metrics, from compensation and career growth to leadership and work-life balance - providing a holistic look at what it’s really like to work at Riverside Payments.

These are not the first awards that Riverside Payments has received in 2022. Riverside Payments also was named as one of the Fastest Growing Companies by both thePortland Business Journal and theVancouver Business Journal for 2022. We also have been recently recognized as StartUp Weekly’s Financial Products & Services Companies to watch, Diverse & Inclusive Employer, and Exceptional Workplaces.
