Our Operating Principles

Raiko Systems, Inc. is a very special organization.  We are continually recruiting and retaining highly skilled professionals in technology, HR, management, logistics, and program development, whose goals are compatible with our vision and mission.  In order for the organization to work effectively and provide superb values to our clients, we need to be creative in our work arrangement.

We try very hard to operate in such ways that enable our consultants, clients and staff to fulfill their family, organizational and social obligations while advancing their personal career objectives and desires.  The balancing act of "personal" and "professional" life should not be so difficult.  We give you the means and power to work creatively.

Integrity

We try very hard to conduct ourselves with high level of integrity at all times.  We believe that a key to strengthening the network and its relationship to our clients, community and the society is integrity.  Here are some examples:

"Open Book" Management

We share our financials to our staff.  It is important for every in the organization to be aware of the financial performance.  If we are doing badly, then you as a member of the organization needs to be creative about saving money and coming up with new sources of revenue.  If we are doing great, then we all should take pride in knowing exactly where we are doing well, and with whom.  We believe that having our financial information open to everyone in the organization keeps us honest and focused on performance.  Financial performance is everyone's business, not just that of the senior executives.

Monthly and Semi-Annual Review

We keep ourselves honest by taking a pulse of our organization - monthly and on semi-annual basis.  We conduct less formal monthly reviews of the entire staff, including the management team.  On semi-annual basis, we conduct more extensive performance reviews to identify the areas that we can improve on.

Kindness

We believe strongly that kindness is what differentiates the humans from the animals.  We are born with a natural ability to be kind to each other, yet somehow along the way, we often "forget" to be kind to each other in our busy lives.  It is time to re-awaken those dormant instincts and be kind to yourself, to your family, to clients and to the society.  Here is an example:

Charitable Causes

That is why we sponsor every staff to participate in the charity causes that they believe in.  We offer financial support and flexible work schedule to allow everyone in the organization to participate in the causes that they believe.  The participation strengthens the bond with the community and the society with we are all part of.

Sharing Knowledge

Please share your professional knowledge and experience generously with our clients, staff and the communities which you belong.  If you have access to the "secret sauce," we all have a tendency to hide it from others because of our instinctive fear.  Believe us when we say that there are plenty of work and engagements to be had for all of you, even if you share your secrets.  You are opt to find more opportunities if you share your secrets and knowledge and empower others.

Flexibility

We have a minimal amount of policies and procedures.  We have the basic stuff to get us organized and stay focused, but nothing to control every aspect of your work life.

"Open Door" Management - Flexible Hours

You decide when you need to be at work.  You are old enough and wise enough to control and determine when you are most effective.  You also want to have flexibility to take care of your personal life.  You want to work 30 hours a week so that you can pick-up your kids from school and take them to their soccer lessons.  You can do that here, as long as you are focused on your projects and tightly in touch with your manager.  You just need to remember that you have obligations and a pledge to the network and to our clients to do the best work possible.

Go Get Fired!

We mean, "Get fired up!"  Our consultants are passionate about the projects that we take.  Our consultants take pride in their personal involvement with the causes and the project that they work on.  All of our projects are examined closely for their mission value and compatibility with our beliefs before they start.

We do not engage in projects that do not add lasting values to the communities and clients.  Our belief is that the projects will be successful if the long-term goals and the objectives are in-line with the communities and society's idea of enrichment and advancement.
