BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Regions
Bank has received the 2017
Gallup Great Workplace Award, Gallup's highest honor that was
created to recognize organizations for their ability to create an
engaged workplace that drives business results. This is the third year
in a row Regions has received the award.
"Building relationships with our customers and communities starts with
our associates, and building the best team is a strategic priority that
helps us grow and sustain our culture of engagement," said Dave Keenan,
head of Human Resources for Regions. "We are honored that Gallup has
recognized Regions Bank for the third consecutive year among the top
companies globally for our efforts to create a highly engaged workforce."
Having studied millions of employees around the world, Gallup has found
that regardless of a company's size, location or industry, the best
workplaces share one trait - they have an intentional focus on
engagement. 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."
Gallup clients that participate in the Gallup survey process and meet
certain criteria are eligible to apply for the Gallup Great Workplace
Award. In applying, Regions had to demonstrate how engagement positively
influences performance and is linked to: strategy and leadership,
accountability and performance, communication and knowledge management
and development and ongoing learning.
A panel of workplace consultants and experts evaluate applicants to
select the winners. The top organizations selected are part of an elite
group of companies to receive the award - Regions is one of 37 companies
selected for 2017. These companies average 14 engaged employees for
every one actively disengaged employee, which is nearly seven times the
rate in the U.S. and more than 15 times the rate for workforces globally.
