For a second consecutive year, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank experienced a savings under the federal tax law and subsequently, the board of directors again decided to reward bank employees with a bonus to show appreciation for their dedication, hard work and contributions to the bank’s success.
“The foundation of the bank is our people,” said Craig Albert, president and CEO of Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “We pride ourselves on building relationships with not only our customers, but with our employees as well. The relationships we have with one another are a large part of why we’ve experienced such success over the past 16 years. We always try to take advantage of opportunities to reward them.”
All employees, except for the executive management team, were included in the bonus and amounts were based on individual employees’ length of service.
With Lee County’s unemployment rate under 3%, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank actively engages with employees to ensure they provide a happy, healthy workplace. As a result, the bank experiences very low employee turnover and has an engaged team of people who truly enjoy where they work.
Of 100 employees at seven Lee County locations, nearly 60 percent of employees have been with the bank for five years or more. Eight employees have been with the bank since it started in 2003.
A nonconventional corporate culture is what sets Sanibel Captiva Community Bank apart. The bank offers traditional benefits, such as a highly competitive 401K plan and superior health insurance with 100% coverage of employees’ benefits and 50% coverage of family benefits. They have successfully created an environment where employees work hard, feel connected to one another, choose to be involved and have fun together. Sanibel Captiva Community Bank’s thriving workplace culture has directly supported its business successes.
