How to Reignite Employee Engagement at Your Community Bank

Why burnout and disengagement are growing—and what incentive programs can do about it.

There is a shift that happens to industries across the board. The generational shift. 

As this article is being written, this is only becoming more and more true for Community Banks. Let’s look at an example to see what I mean. 

I got off the phone with a member at BankerBounty the other day who was telling me about the culture at her bank. She was telling me that the reasoning behind paying for BankerBounty is to get all of their employees involved. 

She went on to tell me how some folks at her bank find it rude to ask customers if they can open up additional accounts - when in fact, if your bank has a good offering, this is the right and good thing to do!

What we have found is that a little incentive can go a long way in helping change this mindset.

Here’s a quote from another one of our members, Tina Corely: “At First Community Bank, we put our friends and neighbors first!  We keep our growth goals top of mind, and our employees remain armed and ready to evangelize all the great things we have to offer.  Prior to Banker Bounty, there was no real way to submit/track quality leads and reward our employees for their efforts.  Since the exciting and very strategic launch and execution of this platform, our employees hit the gate running!”

Tina goes on to say how the program affected their culture: “There’s a new-found spirit here, and our culture is evolving in ways that result in measurable progress. Over 38 days since the launch of Banker Bounty, our bank has won over $1,000,000 in NEW money.   And while the new money is worthy of being celebrated, the morale booster this has delivered within our organization is truly immeasurable.”
