This year, the survey included additional questions regarding communications and confidence during the COVID-19 pandemic. In support of our officers and staff, several programs were initiated including work from home options, Telehealth medical support and a one-time grant to employees for reasonable or necessary expenses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, United Bank supports military veterans and we encourage opportunities to hire Guardsmen, Reservists and Veterans. Each year, United Bank’s Human Resources personnel participate in the Alabama Career Center System Veterans Job Expo for Baldwin County where they have the opportunity to engage with area veterans who are entering the workforce. Through this participation, we are creating a stronger, more diverse workforce, identifying and filling talent needs, and generating goodwill in the community.
A recurring comment made by employees participating in the survey was the overall encouragement to give personal time and effort back to our local communities. Our employees volunteer countless hours to a wide variety of worthy organizations such as Feeding the Gulf Coast and local food pantries. They also work in the community to help promote financial literacy for adults and help educate the younger generation to create smart, financially savvy individuals.
