GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 20,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- United Community has once again
been named one of the Best Banks to Work For in 2023
by American Banker and Best Companies Group. This recognition is
based on employee satisfaction and signifies the bank's commitment
to employee development and the fostering of a strong culture. This
is the seventh consecutive year the bank has been selected for this
list, which can be seen here. United is one of only three banks on
the list with over $25 billion in
assets.
"One of our main goals is to be a company that is a great place
for great people to work, so this recognition is important to us,"
said Lynn Harton, CEO and Chairman
of United Community. "We recognize that our accomplishments,
whether in customer satisfaction, financial performance or our
community impact, are founded on being a place our employees
believe in."
United Community is a bank that is focused on maintaining its
people-first culture. The bank offers paid time for employees to
volunteer and give back to the communities that mean the most to
them. The bank has also introduced an all-employee group called the
Together for Good Council, which helps coordinate volunteer efforts
and grants across its six-state footprint. An all-employee survey
is given regularly to help leaders get insight into what's working
in their company, and what opportunities employees would like to
see. Leaders take that feedback and help create their strategic
plans based on what employees say their greatest needs are.
Since 2013, the Best Banks to Work
For program by American Banker and Best Companies
Group has identified, recognized, and honored U.S. banks for
outstanding employee satisfaction. Full results of this year's
program are available online at American Banker and in the November
issue of American Banker Magazine.
Determining the Best Banks to Work For is a
two-step process. The first step involves an evaluation of
participating companies' workplace policies, practices, and
demographics. In the second step, employee surveys are conducted to
directly assess the experiences and attitudes of individual
employees with respect to their workplace. The combined scores
determine the top banks and the final ranking.
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey
process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to
determine the final ranking. The program is open to commercial
banks, thrifts, savings banks, and other chartered retail financial
institutions with at least 50 employees in the United States. For more information on
eligibility or other questions related to the Best Banks to
Work For program, visit www.BestBankstoWorkFor.com.
