Centric Bank, which has a commercial lending office in Devon, has been recognized by American Banker for the second consecutive year as one of the magazine’s 2019 Best Banks to Work For.

“I am incredibly proud of our Centric family,” said CEO Patricia (Patti) A. Husic. “Although banks are defined by numbers, you can’t put a price on loyalty, passion, and dedication. Our 90 percent employee retention rate is an outgrowth of our Centric Bank Way culture initiative. We give our employees room to grow, flexibility to volunteer in the community, access to fitness and wellness programs, and we have fun! The entire team is dedicated to doing meaningful work and making a difference each day. That’s not in our job descriptions, it’s in our DNA.”

Banks are evaluated based on a questionnaire that captures information about workplace policies and practices and an employee survey. Among the many factors assessed are leadership philosophy, efforts to recruit a diverse workforce, and the ways in which the banks show employees they are valued.

“To become one of our Best Banks to Work For, leaders must work purposefully every day to ensure that employees are engaged,” said Bonnie McGeer, Executive Editor of American Banker.

Centric Bank was highlighted as No. 44 in this year’s list of 85 banks — a testament to a financial institution that prides itself on operating more like a family than a bank.

“We savor special moments as a team and lift each other up in times of hardship or need,” said Husic. “Banking is a team sport, and when I see a vast network of informal and formal relationships thriving throughout our organization, from the C-suite to the interns, I feel a sense of gratitude that’s hard to describe.”

“When our workforce watches the leadership team living out our culture fundamentals, it charges the atmosphere with positivity, inclusivity, and aspiration,” said Christine Pavlakovich, SVP, Director of Human Resources. “Centric Bank has a reputation for ambitious, progressive growth, and we’ve become a talent magnet in a hypercompetitive marketplace.”

Through its Employee Appreciation Day, Mid-Winter Celebration, and inclusion programs like a new partnership with the Keystone Business Alliance, central Pennsylvania’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Centric Bank is redefining bankers and the banking experience.
