Kitsap Bank Named One of Washington's Best Workplaces by Puget Sound Business Journal
Kitsap Bank has once again been named one of Washington’s Best Workplaces by the Puget Sound Business Journal. The program was launched to identify and recognize best practices in the hiring and retention of great people. The Puget Sound Business Journal in partnership with Quantum Workplace sent surveys to the employees of participating companies to determine placement on the Best Workplaces list. Companies were evaluated by employees in six areas - communication and resources, individual needs, manager effectiveness, personal engagement, team dynamics, and trust in leadership. 100 companies are ranked into four categories based on company size; Kitsap Bank was ranked in the extra-large company category. The Washington’s Best Work Place finalists will be celebrated at a one-of-a-kind awards event at T-Mobile Park on August 17th.
“We are honored to be named one of Washington’s best workplaces,” comments Steve Politakis, Kitsap Bank Chief Executive Officer, “It is not unusual for our employees to spend upwards of 20 or 30 years with us --- a true testament to the organization’s commitment to its employees and its rich history as the community’s financial partner.”
