Our Culture and People

We look out for each other the way we look out for our customers

People are at the core of everything we do

As a key part of the Ricoh Way, people are at the core of everything we do. That's why at Ricoh you won't just be a nameless face in the crowd. You'll be a key part of the more than 2,400 diverse and dedicated team members we have across the country. So whether you’re on day five or five thousand of your career at Ricoh, we pride ourselves on building a culture designed to help you reach your potential as an employee and a person.

Giving back

When others need an extra hand, it’s our duty to help out. Nationally, we band together to support a variety of organizations, including:

The United Way
The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
Canada Blood Services
The Learning Partnership

Locally, our 21 environment and 29 CSR councils help champion our volunteer efforts and giving spirit. Each Ricoh office has the flexibility to support the causes that best resonate within their respective communities. These can include national organizations like the ones mentioned above; environmental awareness initiatives, holidays, and other charitable activities; or other options — for example, The Big Bike Ride, Movember, Wear Plaid for Dad, and Day of Caring.

Diversity

We believe that a diverse workplace — one that accurately reflects the communities where we do business — makes us a stronger organization, and one that's better able to meet our customers' needs.

That's why we pride ourselves on being diverse, and not just in terms of ethnicity, nationality, generation, gender identity, and economic status. At Ricoh, diversity includes the wide range of jobs you can do, the types of training we offer, the number of geographic areas we serve, and more.

Recognition

Our people consistently go above and beyond, and we celebrate that in many ways, including:

Be the Change, our national recognition program that acknowledges our employees' hard work and dedication, and their commitment to the values of the Ricoh Way.
Service Excellence Program, a program that rewards top performing customer-facing professionals in the field with trips for them and their spouses/partners to attractive destinations where they spend intimate time with our CEO and other EMT members to recognize them for their efforts.
President’s Club, in which top salespeople receive a trip to exotic places such as Hawaii, Brazil, Switzerland and Italy.

When it comes to our company's senior leadership, the efforts of Ricoh employees are noticed and appreciated in other ways, too, especially at the local level. For example, management throughout the country recognizes employees with breakfasts, lunchtime cookouts, bowling events, dinners with spouses and more.

Collaboration

What’s better than one smart mind? Teaming up with another one to help get your job done. We encourage people to work together to come up with ideas and to solve problems. And in this new world of work, that means doing it wherever and whenever you need to. So whether your team members are across town or across the country, our cutting-edge technology and tools — including our unified communication systems and workplace productivity solutions — let you converse, share information and collaborate like never before.

Career potential

Your first job at Ricoh can lead to many others during your career with us. There is a lot of room for career growth here at Ricoh through promotions and lateral moves to broaden skill sets and provide challenging development opportunities. If a new challenge is what you’re looking for, you can expand your career path and move to other departments or even take on opportunities abroad.

To help you get where you want to go, we offer numerous training and development opportunities, including the Ricoh Learning Institute, the Ricoh Learning Calendar, Education Reimbursement programs and leadership development courses.
