The Rilington Group recently organized and sponsored company teams for three Palm Springs 5K events in the first quarter of 2015. Employees and families of both the Rilington Group and its new home community, Vallera Palm Springs, had at least 6 participants at each of the 5K events. These included the Mayor’s Healthy Planet, Healthy You 5K Race and Wellness Festival in January, the 2015 Palm Springs 5K in February and the recent Running Wild for Hope 5K.

This “5K Trifecta”, now an annual company event, is the cornerstone of the company’s commitment to supporting the health and wellness of employees. “We are so proud of our team members and their families who joined us in at least one if not all three of the 5K events,” notes Erin Eslinger, the company’s Director of Marketing. “I know we are all so thankful to work for a company that encourages our personal wellness and promotes fun team building,” Eslinger adds. Creating this race series, the Rilington Group 5K Trifecta encourages team member fitness. Employees who participated in all three events received a medal and special recognition for their efforts.

Rilington Group employees received strong support from President, Mickie Riley, from the start, including 5K training plans, healthy food suggestions and consistent motivational emails leading up to the races. “I advocate a healthy lifestyle that includes proper eating, exercising and necessary downtime for our employees because it is the right thing to do. To me it’s no different than providing a safe work environment. Just as it is my duty to assist our team members in reaching their financial goals for the benefit of their families, I feel it is equally important to support them in achieving their health and fitness goals,” explains Riley who has a number of long-time and loyal employees.

As the company grows the Rilington Group hopes to see increased participation in the 5K Trifecta next year. The company is also in the process of drafting a formal corporate wellness plan to be implemented before the end of 2015. In addition, the Rilington Group has also offered a paid annual membership for its employees to the new City of La Quinta wellness center as a part of the corporate wellness program.
