Happy staff makes a good company. So making BC Business Magazine's Best Company to Work For: Under 100 Employees is very telling for Kumsheen River Rafting. In the brief article about the company in the December issue of the magazine is a anonymous quote collected as part of the survey: “Most organized company I’ve worked for. All employees here are amazing people. We’re all family. After-work activities are endless."
The 55-person, Lytton based company is the only tourism related company that made the magazine's annual Best Company awards, which result from nominations and surveys. It's a family run operation, started 1973 by Bernie Fandrich. His son Braden now runs it, continuing the tradition of offering day and overnight trips down the big, rough waters of the Thompson and Fraser rivers from their comfy base in B.C.'s arid southeastern interior.
I chatted with Braden a year or so ago about the family operation for a stewardship story. It's a great company that works to protect the rivers, land and air that they operate around and obviously treats their staff equally well.
Congrats Kumsheen
