We have learned that if we take care of our people...
"Hire the best people you can find. Create an atmosphere that will keep them. Then let them do their jobs." By adhering to our time-tested management approach, we have shaped an environment that sustains The Value of 168 for our employees. A passion to excel - Our people are energized by the knowledge that they play the leading role in propelling RPM's continuous growth and improvement. Pride in history and heritage - RPM's operating company leaders are typically the original owners, second- or third-generation members of the owners’ families or the management teams they chose to carry on their legacy. These entrepreneurs embrace the RPM operating philosophy because they welcome our commitment to preserve the brands, cultures and management of our acquired companies.	Whether inspecting a new Stonhard installation with a customer (above) or maintaining quality control at a Day-Glo lab (below), RPM employees are energized, knowing that they play the critical role in the company's success.
	The opportunity to share in RPM's success - We feel strongly that our employees should enjoy the success they have helped create. Not only do they participate in our growth as shareholders, they also gain from our continuing investment in a competitive benefits program, including retirement plans that we have enhanced in recent years, even as many other companies have reduced their retirement benefits for employees. Independence at the operating level - Employees of RPM companies thrive within an organizational structure and entrepreneurial operating philosophy that allow them to make business decisions and respond promptly to customer needs without interference from a large corporate bureaucracy. A culture of respect - We are a company that aspires each day to respect the two key elements our employees contribute to RPM's success: their talent and their time.
