Northfield, Ill.-based Rose Pest Solutions is set to debut Rose University, a year-long development program designed for new and existing team members.
“Education is of utmost importance and we are proud that Rose University will help our new and existing team members stay engaged and continuously invested in ongoing business training and professional development,” Zach Bahrke, Rose director of operations said in a press release. “With “Education” serving as our word of the year, we are committed to creating consistent opportunities to develop, support and engage our team members through continued learning across all areas of the business.
Rose University (Rose U) begins with welcome messages from Rose owner Bob Dold and president Curtis Rand. It features presentations from internal leaders and industry experts covering all roles, operational aspects and best practices across the business including HR, operations, safety, sales, finance, admin and customer care.
‘Professors’ at Rose U include top level management, branch managers, service managers and outside industry experts.
“We are invested in our employees. They are our work families,” Bahrke said. “Just like our real families, we want them to be the best they can be. Rose University will provide them with the education to help further develop critical thinking and problem solving skills that we believe will extend beyond the Rose classroom.”
The first Rose U classes began this spring. New team members start attending during their third month of employment and continue once a month through the full 12-month curriculum, regardless of position, to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the company and its operations as a whole.
