San Antonio, Texas — Vantage Bank is proud to announce that it has achieved certification as a Great Place To Work®, a highly sought after recognition by companies across the world.
The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Vantage Bank. This year, 93% of employees said it is a great place to work – 36 points higher than the average U.S. company.
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their Vantage Bank culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Vantage Bank stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
“We are thrilled to become Great Place To Work-Certified™, as employee experience is a top priority for Vantage Bank,” said President and CEO, Jeff Sinnott. “Employee satisfaction isn’t just a measure of morale; it is at the heart of our success and the service excellence we provide our customers on a daily basis.”
Chief Human Resources Officer Eric Thompson says Vantage Bank firmly believes people are its most important asset and what sets it apart from other banks. “Our mission statement reads that we foster a work environment that attracts, develops, recognizes, and retains employees who demonstrate a commitment to our core values. This has led us to purposefully focus on fostering what we call a ‘People Positive’ culture.”
A People Positive culture empowers associates to better serve customers in an environment of teamwork, trust, and respect. Vantage Bank cultivates this culture through employee-centric policies and initiatives that are re-evaluated each year after reviewing the results of the annual employee engagement survey.
According to Great Place To Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits, and have a fair chance at promotion.
