FIRST COUNTY BANK NAMED TOP WORKPLACE
-- Top Mid-Sized Bank in Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield Counties --
Hearst Connecticut Newspapers, publishers of The Advocate, Greenwich Time, Connecticut Post and The News-Times, announced the results of its Top Workplaces 2011 survey of the best places to work in Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield counties. First County Bank was voted the top and only bank among medium-sized businesses in these counties.
The evaluation for the Top Workplaces program is based on feedback from an employee survey conducted over the summer asking opinions on six areas of the workplace: company values, leaders and strategy; how the company communicates and gets work done; opportunity for training and progression; working atmosphere and environment; quality of managers and their staffs; and employee compensation. A total of 35 companies made the list this year, including 15 small companies (defined as less than 125 employees), 10 medium companies (defined as having 125-249 employees) and 10 large companies (defined as 250 or more employees).
“On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank the First County Bank team for recognizing and appreciating the same core principles that make this bank a great place to work,” said Rey Giallongo, chairman and CEO of First County Bank. “Placing depositors’ security ahead of dividends, providing excellent customer service and helping our communities have paid off handsomely in allowing this bank to prosper for 160 years. None of it would be possible without the talent and dedication of all our employees.
“You’ve made this a great place to bank and you’ve also made it a great place to work. Thank you!” concluded Giallongo. Seventy percent or approximately 154 First County Bank employees filled out the survey.
The Top Workplaces surveys are about more than just perks. They are about a better way of doing business. Extensive research has shown that employees want to be part of something meaningful, where they can contribute and give their best. Top Workplaces recognize that having an inclusive approach means they can be more innovative, operate more ethically and serve customers better.
In 2010 more than 3,000 organizations across the United States have had their workplaces assessed by employees. The workplace surveys are conducted by WorkplaceDynamics LLC, and the programs are run in conjunction with the major newspaper in the regional area.
First County Bank, headquartered in Stamford, Conn., is an independent mutual community bank with 15 branches in Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk and Westport offering deposit products, mortgages, trust and investment services, business banking services and online banking. First County Bank, which celebrates its 160th anniversary this year, has more than 220 employees and assets in excess of $1.3 billion.
