A combination of elevating the printing skills of employees, and investing in the industry's most sophisticated equipment, has allowed this Wisconsin publisher to develop a national customer base. In every conceivable aspect, employees are part and parcel of the overall company operations. That process begins with a daylong orientation session for new employees through a mentoring program that teams new veteran employees during the first weeks of employment. Ripon Community Printers has developed internal training and leadership programs for supervisors and managers, and an interpersonal course for employees engaged in customer contact.
Employees participate in the company's success through a profit-sharing program and bonuses.
Employees are also offered a range of health and benefits programs from which they each are able to select the program best suited for them.
