Case Study: Jordans Interiors and Floor Coverings achieves 30% group benefits savings and improved employee retention with Rise People

Why Rise payroll and group benefits was a natural fit for this retail giant

Jordans Interiors, a heritage Canadian retailer founded in 1929, operates across the country with over 200 employees and 40 payroll divisions. Despite its strong customer focus, Jordans was hampered by an outdated payroll system that created inefficiencies for the accounting team and risked employee retention, so Controller John Rutherford sought a modern, easy-to-use payroll solution.

Rise delivered a rapid, hands-on implementation—moving from demo to first pay run in one week—and ongoing, responsive support that reduced internal burden. Bundling payroll with Rise’s group benefits, Jordans switched carriers and cut total benefits premiums by 30%, saved thousands annually in payroll fees, and gained time savings and improved retention; the company’s leadership now champions Rise as a trusted partner.
