Our Corporate Culture
|
Our sales orientation attracts people who are motivated to give 100% to providing exceptional customer service. We recognize the importance of hiring talented individuals with positive attitudes. Our Human Resources team continually works to create, organize and assess programs that will attract, motivate, develop and reward people with these attributes. Our "Pay for Performance" compensation structure, which includes competitive base salaries and emphasizes incentive-based compensation, is attractive to people who are motivated - like our more than 425 commissioned Mortgage Loan Officers. We measure our employees' performance on a regular basis to provide consistent and meaningful feedback. This performance measurement system links employee compensation to our financial objectives and individual performance goals. As a result, employees are motivated to help the Company achieve its overall financial goals through teamwork and personal accomplishments. |
We work together to recruit the best people in the industry. Republic's "Pay for Performance" compensation programs are partnered with the additional opportunities our Company provides, including:
Current and prospective employees may also access our web site on the Internet at www.republicbancorp.com to review career opportunities available throughout the Company.
We have established several educational programs that underscore our commitment to the professional growth and development of our sales, retail banking and support staff. Our programs are designed to recruit and retain top performers nationwide, as well as help current employees develop new skills. The following programs are included in these professional development opportunities:
Mortgage Loan Officer Training Program
Republic conducts in-house training for individuals seeking to explore career growth opportunities as Mortgage Loan Officers. Many of our most successful lenders are graduates of our extensive classroom and field instruction programs.
Fast Track Management Training Program
Each year we conduct extensive college recruiting to identify and recruit outstanding college graduates for our distinguished program. The program offers departmental rotations, participation in management training and meetings, individual mentors and accelerated performance review and salary consideration. The "Fast Track" program is a unique opportunity for recent college graduates to become an integral part of a growing financial institution and work directly with top sales and management professionals.
Career Planning and Development
Republic Bancorp supports the drive and energy of our employees who want to grow with the Company. Our Salary Administration and Compensation program shows employees the requirements for progression in each functional area of
the Company. Formal Career Planning Workshops and individualized Career Action Plans guide employees to job enrichment, skill enhancement and growth goals. We offer comprehensive training and development programs for every functional area and level in the Company. Additionally, external conferences, seminars and educational assistance are offered to employees interested in professional growth. We strongly believe in promoting from within the Company.
Ultimately, our corporate culture thrives because of our commitment to consistent communication and prompt feedback at all levels throughout the Company. This type of communication allows us to share our goals and expectations with one another. For example, monthly accountability meetings permit employees to discuss their achievements and develop short-term goals with their supervisors. Monthly corporate conference calls for all offices in the Comp any with the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Jerry D. Campbell, known as "TeleRap" sessions, provide employees with updates on the Company's financial and operating results and recognizes "local office heroes." In addition, each employee in a management position at Republic maintains an open door management philosophy.
Effective communication of our philosophies and the significant opportunities for both personal and professional growth make Republic "A Great Place to Work" for our employees.
