Our Management Philosophy

Employees at every level of the organization are empowered to think independently and act cooperatively. The best ideas come from those who are most involved with a specific aspect of the organization. Our staff who are most directly involved with the individuals we support are best equipped to help us with continuous improvement and enhanced communication. Supervision is essential in the development of our teams. Each member of the team, from the individual, to the agency founders, is equally important with a valuable role to play and a contribution that is not only needed by both the individual but the organization as a whole. RCSS believes that we cannot manage, supervise, or teach any of our valued employees without having had the hands-on experience of performing the majority of jobs available within the organization ourselves. It is important that each employee understands our goal is to build teams that interact exclusively with each individual we serve so that our delivery of service will be second to none.
