What is the best way you call out special efforts by employees?
We immediately recognize the deed directly to the employee and, where appropriate, announce it to the entire organization to honor that person’s effort. Good efforts are rewarded with gift cards, office lunches, early dismissals, etc.
What is your biggest challenge in creating a great place to work?
The biggest challenge we face is our geographic setup with multiple locations.
What 3 words would staff use to describe the workplace?
Comfortable. Friendly. Supportive.
What is the most important benefit the company provides?
Our affiliation with BankNewport, a larger parent company, provides long-term stability. Also, we provide flexibility, consistent expectations, good benefits and a pay structure that rewards performance.
