Regions
Bank has been named a winner of the 2016 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. 2016 marks the second consecutive year
that Regions has received the award.
“I am very pleased that, for the second year in a row, Regions has
received the Gallup Great Workplace Award,” said Grayson Hall, Chairman,
President and CEO of Regions. “One of our strategic priorities is to
‘Build the Best Team,’ and a key driver to achieve this goal is to
create a culture of engagement at Regions.”
Regions is one of 35 companies worldwide recognized by Gallup. These
organizations had an average ratio of 14 engaged employees to one
actively disengaged employee. This is more than seven times what Gallup
found in nationally representative U.S. polling and more than 21 times
what Gallup found in nationally representative polling in 142 countries
worldwide. Each award recipient has linked engagement performance to
business outcomes and has integrated engagement in four key areas:
strategy and leadership, accountability and performance, communication
and knowledge management, and developing ongoing learning.
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.”
The Gallup Great Workplace Award recognizes organizations that have
built world-class workplaces in which engaged managers and employees can
thrive and prosper. Gallup clients that participate in the Gallup survey
process and meet certain criteria are eligible to apply for the Gallup
Great Workplace Award.
