Why do you value working at Lake City Bank?
I value how Lake City Bank takes a holistic approach to the benefits and resources provided to our employees. We thoughtfully and intentionally select the tools and resources our employees need to succeed no matter where they are in their life journey. We consider all areas of wellbeing including financial, mental, physical, social and occupational wellbeing.
How does Lake City Bank exemplify its core value of inclusivity?
When it comes to running a business, there is much more to being inclusive than just thinking about race, gender, age, etc. I feel that Lake City Bank ensures it provides benefits and resources that are inclusive for our diverse workforce. With our robust Employee Assistance Program, generous time off, diverse curriculum at Lake City University to support professional development, health screenings that include additional assistance to employees in high-risk categories, and so much more, there is something for everyone!
What have Lake City Bank’s diversity and inclusion efforts taught you so far?
Before Lake City Bank began the diversity and inclusion efforts, I always tried to be mindful that we all have our differences, and that diversity and inclusion can have a different meaning for each person. It’s important to remember that we need to give each other a little grace and have understanding for everyone’s beliefs and differences! Read more employee experiences here.
