Commitment toTeam Culture and Excellence

ReNew Solar Solutions deeply understands the importance of building a cohesive team. John rmly believes that the solar industry, while challenging for recruitment, thrives on the synergy and t of its members. He advocates a comprehensive recruitment approach, extending beyond core competencies, knowledge, and experience. He emphasizes that candidates’ technical skills become secondary if they do not align with the company’s culture. During recruitment, the company ensures that every candidate meets a minimum threshold of competency and experience. However, the emphasis is placed equally on their cultural t, in fact, it is the “ante in the game”. New hires at ReNew Solar are introduced to the company’s ethos and operational principles. This introduction is pivotal as it reects how the company interacts with customers and conducts business. If a candidate fails to resonate with these values, it likely indicates a mismatch with the company’s culture.

John recognizes that recruits that come from other companies could possess “bad habits” that may cause risk to the ReNew way of doing things. While ReNew Solar Solutions will give a chance to a well vetted candidate of this nature, their philosophy historically has been that it often requires more effort to break down those bad habits than it would to train someone new. The harmony within the team at ReNew Solar Solutions is intentional and highly valued. The company selects individuals who work well together, understanding that teamwork is essential for successful installations and great customer outcomes. John instills in his team the importance of mutual responsibility and accountability. He encourages his crew to consider the welfare of their colleagues and their families, fostering a family-oriented atmosphere within the company.

This family-oriented approach, how they treat both customer and employee, is the essential foundation to their belief system and culture. They believe in creating an environment where employees feel valued and will likely stay longterm, enjoying their work and contributing positively to the company culture. Occasionally, the company brings in individuals who seem to t initially but later prove otherwise. In such cases, this is dealt with swiftly that is in the best interest of the company and the individual. The company has a strong belief that individuals can be either cancerous to the “team” through negative behavior or motivate/energize the team’s alignment and performance… They want the former!

John & Krista take immense pride in their team, particularly when customers mention team members by name in their reviews or feedback they provide. This is a testament that they are choosing the right people, building a strong team and driving a sustainable culture. Make no mistake, ReNew believes to their core that their culture is more important than technology, design, installation, etc. to ensure “long-term” success. Culture trumps strategy, every time!

Business Model and Strategy

Franchise Model:

The company mainly uses a franchising business model, which has been a central factor in the expansion of the company. Through this model, it can manage people in each market and gain local workers and capital while maintaining the same rules throughout all the stores. In return, franchisees receive detailed courses, regular assistance, and use to supply networks.

Menu Innovation:

Another strength that is well-proven with Dunkin’ Donuts is exibility in menu offerings to reect everchanging consumer preferences. However, with core products such as donuts and coffee, there has been the inclusion of breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and smoothies, among others. Daily and weekly specials like pumpkin spice products are helpful in terms of food variety and attractiveness.

Digital Transformation:

Digital technology has been adopted as part of the company’s strategies. The brand also introduced its mobile application in 2012, including ordering from the mobile app, membership reward programs, and offers. Smartphone user interfaces have grown to become a powerful marketing arm through mobile applications; a clear case is the Dunkin’ Donuts mobile application.
