offer a company.

how it is unique and what it stands for.

EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE

practices that provide employees with something of value in return for their
contributions to the mission and goals of the organization. Company uses these
programs to describe the characteristics and appeal of working for our
Company”

CASE STUDY | HOW TO DO IT
• Allowing for vulnerability (on all sides) makes a difference
• LISTEN – no corrections – no judgement
• Bring decision makers along the journey – it’s hard to hear about things
that aren’t working

Compensation, of course)

52 Years of a culture of ‘grow and promote from within’
FirstBank is innovative and cutting edge but there was little to no strategic HR structure in place
10
HR Evolution 52 years with HR being a service provider and an
enabler - no strong strategic structure
Had to get in front of things vs. letting it happen to them
Examples: it's not allowed in IT, why in HR?
HR had to show up as the 'expert' and set expectations and process for HR, employees and company leaders
HR had to have a mind-shift: move from leading with ‘no'/black & white/risk adverse to asking questions (a place of inquiry), offering ideas and partnering on solutions
Had to move away from defending and fire-fighter mode
HR had to earn and be proud of seat at the table. Act like you deserve to be there, don't expect it
Learning to leverage resources
11
Management Evolution Comp, Comp, Comp - easiest band-aid to throw out
there. The truth is; it’s rarely about pay
Total Rewards is also about developing a leaders tool
box so they can better support their employees
Helping leaders to learn how to have a holistic
conversation
Move away from a mentality of entitlement around
Total Rewards
HR had to connect themselves, managers and
employees to the company's mission of "Banking for
Good" and embed that same mind set in all they do
Forging partnerships was critical
12
Development of TR Total Rewards – the experience we offer our employees -
had to be brought up to meet the hot market
There had to be a connection to the Company's
strategic plan
Takes vision, drive and fortitude - looking back though, it's
a world of difference and we are in a stronger position to attract, engage and retain our talent
What they’ve accomplished - one step and one project
at a time…

TOTAL REWARDS
• Many companies underestimate and under
communicate their Total Rewards package they offer
employees
• It’s not just Compensation & Benefits!
• The best Total Rewards packages are unique to a
company’s culture and their mission and values
• Attract | Motivate | Retain | Engage – What’s your Total
Rewards model?
• How can your Total Rewards package differentiate you?
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel.”
