Employee engagement is a top priority at the Bank. Employees who volunteer for community projects are happy and productive. The Bank encourages employee participation in bank-wide, branch or team initiatives. Whether it be food donations, holiday gift collection, charity walks or runs and clean-up projects the Bank employees are always ready to lend a hand.
Best Place to Work Committee
The Best Place To Work Committee was created to promote employee engagement by developing internal and external programs. The committee is made up of a group of employees who present ideas and suggestions for programs that may be educational, recreational, internal, external, employee only or family oriented.
Ives Bank Ambassador Program
The Ives Bank Ambassador Program launched in the fall of 2019. It affords our employees the chance to represent the Bank in the larger community. Our Ambassadors serve as liaisons and leaders, raising brand awareness for the Bank at events including fairs, seminars, trade shows, parades and charitable events. Additionally, our Ambassadors have the chance to meet new business owners coming into the area and to introduce Ives Bank to them. Being an Ambassador also provides our employees with the opportunity to expand their professional networks.
Bank-Sponsored Activities
In addition to generous benefits, employees enjoy several bank-sponsored activities throughout the year. This includes catered lunch or dinner to celebrate special occasions, pizza and ice cream days, employee town halls, movie nights, live performances at the Palace Theater in Waterbury, major league baseball games at Yankee Stadium, pumpkin painting, basketball games at WCSU and so much more!
