How we rent, retain, recruit and advance our missions amid momentous change will stay a key subject for neighborhood financial institution leaders and can affect our plans for the longer term.
December creates a pure alternative for reflection, and as I look again on our efforts over the previous 12 months, I’m struck by one core reality: It’s the individuals who make the financial institution.
This month’s problem focuses on the very best banks to work for, as a result of neighborhood banking is about a lot greater than transactions. It’s made up of the spirit of neighborhood, deep and private relationships, and buyer belief. Our folks—dedicated, related, caring—proceed to distinguish us as neighborhood banks and hold our group relationship-first and mission-centric.
