HCSS - Stability

Your software investment is safe with us.

Before investing in software that drives your daily operations, you should know where your vendor stands now and its likelihood of being here tomorrow. HCSS is confident in its financial and ownership stability—we invite you to review our numbers and practices.

Solid financials.

HCSS has been providing software to the construction industry since 1986. We’ve come a long way since then, consistently growing and maintaining solid financials.

We want you to be confident in your software investment, so we fully disclose our audited financials to Dun & Bradstreet for review. We recommend the D&B Business Information Report, a Web-enabled report that is simple to access, easy to read, and recognized as the standard for in-depth business information and financial risk assessment.

Smart ownership.

HCSS is an S-Corporation with a shareholder structure that keeps our entire workforce engaged:

34% Mike Rydin, HCSS Founder and President/CEO
30% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
36% Individual employees and construction professionals

From open-book management to employee ownership, we adapt practices that motivate and empower each employee to work with a passion for HCSS and its customers.

Ownership history.

HCSS has been an employee-owned company since 1998. At that time, Mike Rydin (HCSS Founder and President/CEO) sold 25% of the company to employees via an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with the idea of motivating all employees to think and act like owners. Today, Mike Rydin is still the largest shareholder of HCSS.

Employee benefits.

Through these tools, employees are rewarded financially for their positive impact on the company. With profit-sharing, employees know when they make a positive impact on the company’s bottom-line as well as an impact on their own pocketbook. For the past 10 years, employees have received substantial profit sharing, both in cash and ESOP stock.

These incentives, along with other great benefits, make HCSS a truly great place to work. Employees enjoy working with equally talented and motivated colleagues as we attract and hire only the best to share in the company’s ownership.

Award-winning practices.

A decade later, HCSS is honored with the 2008 Innovations in Employee Ownership Award—an annual award that recognizes creative ideas that strengthen employee ownership.
What makes HCSS unique is our three-tier reward system for every employee, regardless of job title:

Annual cash profit sharing
Stock Appreciation Rights (SARS)
Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP)

This system gives every employee a financial stake in the company, motivating the entire workforce to help HCSS succeed.

Customer benefits.

This culture has created a stable company with employees who take pride in helping customers, treat customers like owners do, and address responsibilities like they’re running their own business.

Our staff remains happy, motivated, engaged, and become long-term employees, performing at their absolute best for the company and its customers. We have an unbelievably low turnover rate, a stable workforce, and consistent management at the top.

At HCSS, you will always know what to expect from us now and in the future.
