COMPANY CULTURE
BEHIND THE BRAND: We’re a cycling company built by industry experts: from engineers to designers, sales professionals to elite bike racers. Our passion for 100% cycling is what drives our consistent innovation and commitment to our customers’ successes.
Stages has been in the business for over 10 years. Check out how we've progressed over the years.
DEFINING CORE VALUES
In 2009, when owner Jim Liggett and the original Stages team were strategizing about what they wanted our company culture to look like, they landed on five core values that would come to serve as the foundational principles of the company, as well as a guide of conduct for every individual. They decided that these 5 values were the most important in creating a culture where customers were held in the highest regard. They recognized the need for conducting our business differently by prioritizing service.
THE FIVE VALUES
Everything we do in our company, from hiring employees to choosing partners, from our daily transactions to making major business decisions, is fueled by our five core values:
INTELLIGENCE, CREATIVITY, LISTENING, PASSION, and AGILITY
FOUNDATIONS OF EXCELLENCE AWARD
Our 5 core values are so important to us that, at the end of each year, every employee participates in a process of nominating a fellow employee that he or she feels most embodied these five core values, both at work and in life. The winners are inducted into what we call our 'Foundation of Excellence'. It is a great honor to be recognized by our peers and be rewarded for jobs done above and beyond.
Our Portland, Oregon and Boulder, Colorado offices proudly display all past winners’ images for all employees and customers to see.
WE LIKE TO GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES
Stages is proud to work with nonprofit partners annually, and donates product or financial backing to select charitable events each year.
We love to solicit ideas from our employees and customers on who we partner with, and love nothing more than supporting employee efforts to give back to our communities.
