OUR CULTURE

At Park Derochie, we are proud of our unique corporate culture. Park Derochie was built on the principles of strong work ethic, commitment to customer satisfaction, developing a skilled, dedicated workforce and a belief that Loyalty begets Loyalty. This culture, some of which grew naturally from small company beginnings, sets us apart from the competition and has helped us become one of the Alberta’s most admired companies.

OUR FOUR BASIC BELIEFS

RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
We have a culture built on respect for all individuals regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religious beliefs. We understand and embrace the differences that allow us to grow as a company. Our strong belief in open and honest communication encourages those around us to express their thoughts and ideas freely.

SERVICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
"Our customers are the reason we're in business, so we should treat them that way." Offering our customers the services they want at competitive prices and providing friendly and helpful service are just two of the ways that we provide service to our customers. We also serve our customers by challenging ourselves to find new ways to exceed their expectations.

STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE
Attracting quality, long-term individuals is key to the success of our company and we recognize that job satisfaction is vital to employee retention. Park Derochie is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment and feel a responsibility to provide programs that educate and encourage employees to make long-term, sustainable changes to improve overall well-being. To this end we have a 1500 sq. ft. on-site workout room for the exclusive use of our employees, an on-site cafeteria, featuring homemade delectables prepared by an on-site cook as well as daily free soup, a group benefit plan, financial rewards for quitting smoking, as well as fun and active activities and events outside of Park Derochie for all employees to participate in. As a company, we promote, encourage and financially support continuous learning for all employees, at all levels and provide mentors for trainees in numerous trades. This commitment to continuous improvement helps the company to grow by bringing simple and smart ideas to life.

In 2015 PD Group of Companies Inc. was named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for excellence in business performance. The Best Managed program is sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Smith School of Business and MacKay CEO Forums, and recognizes Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues over $10 million demonstrating strategy, capability and commitment to achieve sustainable growth.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
It has always been a strong belief that investing in our community is as important as investing (and indeed is another way to invest) in the people within the company. Park Derochie regularly contributes to numerous sectors including: School programs, Youth Sports, Health Foundations and Charities and Community programs. We firmly believe that supporting Health, Wellness and Education builds stronger, healthier individuals who in turn ‘pay it forward’, creating stronger communities. We consider these donations and sponsorships not an obligation but a privilege.

Park Derochie Employees have followed the company’s’ philanthropic example; The Park Derochie Community Action Committee supports the well-being of Park Derochie employees and the surrounding community in Alberta. The mandate of the Committee is to provide financial and/or human resources to deserving local organizations, oversee the Park Derochie education bursaries and employee assistance fund, and assist with the Park Derochie Health and Wellness Program as needed. This committee is funded by the annual Merle Derochie Invitational Golf Tournament; an event that is generously supported by Park Derochie suppliers, Employees and Park Derochie Corporate.
