Regions
Bank has been named a winner of the 2015 Gallup Consulting Great
Workplace Award. The award recognizes organizations that create an
engaged workplace culture across teams, departments and locations to
drive real business outcomes.
Regions is one of 40 companies worldwide recognized by Gallup. Truly
engaged workplaces are rare according to Gallup research which shows
that, worldwide, just 13 percent of employees are engaged in their jobs.
Gallup defines engaged employees as ones who are involved in,
enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace.
“Regions associates come to work every day with the goal of helping our
customers improve their financial lives,” said Dave Keenan, head of
Human Resources for Regions. “We invest significant time and attention
to create an environment where talented associates have the opportunity
to be at their best and make a real difference. We are honored that
Gallup has recognized Regions Bank among the top companies globally for
our efforts to create a highly engaged workforce.”
Gallup has studied millions of employees in hundreds of organizations
and countries and discovered that employee engagement sets great
workplaces apart. Gallup’s research indicates that increasing engagement
in the workplace leads to higher productivity, profitability and
customer ratings, along with lower turnover and absenteeism and fewer
safety incidents.
“The world’s top-performing organizations help lead the global economy
by engaging their workforces,” said Jim Harter, Ph.D., Gallup’s chief
scientist of workplace management and well-being. “Gallup’s Great
Workplace Award winners understand and acknowledge the importance of
employee engagement by making it a vital part of their organization
while using it as a driving force to create real business outcomes.”
A panel of Gallup workplace experts evaluates applicants and assesses
them against established criteria. The top organizations gain entry into
an elite group of companies receiving the Gallup Great Workplace Award.
Winners will be honored during Gallup’s Spring Summit in Omaha,
Nebraska, on June 2-4, 2015.
