SALT LAKE CITY, May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- RizePoint, the global leader in quality experience management software, today announced that its corporate social responsibility program, Rize & Shine, won a Silver Stevie® in the 15th annual American Business Awards. The program was recognized in the community relations campaign category for its support of technology education and sustainable food systems.
The Rize & Shine program includes four corporate-sponsored volunteer days, an impressive commitment of resources for a company with less than 100 employees.
"I am proud of the Rize & Shine program and grateful for the recognition of our efforts to be a good corporate citizen," said Frank Maylett, president and CEO. "Our clients include some of the largest brands in the world with robust corporate social responsibility programs. We launched Rize & Shine to demonstrate this same commitment to creating a better world for all."
More than 190 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year's Stevie Award winners.
"This is a model for other companies that want to make a regular, positive impact in their communities," noted one industry judge. Another judge continued, "For a small company, this program is meaningful—especially because they undertook launching one in the first place."
The Rize & Shine program includes:
- Four company-paid volunteer days per year amounting to more than 2,000 hours in the community
- An annual STEM scholarship program that awards grants to Utah students to attend STEM summer camps
- Efforts to create a diverse and inclusive work environment
- School supply drives collecting more than 2,000 supplies for Canyons School District students
