Job Satisfaction

The organization I am proud to work for is Regions Bank. What is so great about this organization is I work in an industry that actively promotes wellness and puts people first. In fact, my organization is so big on putting people first that they adopted this as part of their “right way principles”.

The one distracting part of this is most people will not promote to managing levels without having prior managing experience. So it is motivating to work for a company that recognizes the road block, and helps you work around it. Most companies offer management in training programs to help guide employees on the right path.

To keep others motivated on my team I am always using positive reinforcement. That is the basic of coaching a team and can not be ignored because it is truly essential. Recognition always makes someone feel special. I have worked my way up through the ladder in the banking industry so I always refer back to my days when I used to be rewarded for my actions and I loved it.
