People
Here at Bank First, we strive to be an employer of choice, and offer a range of benefits to our people to empower them to Be Bold. Be Different. Be Sustainable and most importantly, to Be YOU!
Be You!
We’ve worked with our people to co-create our new People Strategy ‘Be You!’ It focuses on creating a bold culture, compelling experiences, and future-ready capabilities to enable all our people in an ever-changing world.
We want our people to bring their very best self to work. At the heart of this is empowering and supporting our people to ‘Be Bold. Be Different. Be Sustainable. Be YOU!’
So You Can
Our new performance framework is uniquely tailored to Bank First and recognises our culture, our future aspirations, our business today and our people. The framework provides:
Alignment to bank-wide measures and team roadmaps that are translated into simple goals to embed people’s confidence in where we are going.
Clarity about what high performance looks like, understanding how our people are travelling and how they will be recognised and rewarded.
Empowerment through feedback, reflection and coaching to enable our people to thrive and grow their careers.
Regular recognition as part of quarterly team celebrations. It seeks to encourage future-ready capabilities, while respecting our diversity and hybrid work models.
Our BOLD benefits
Our people join for purpose and stay for the people and benefits. Our BOLD benefits offer:
Parental leave that supports shared care responsibility equally, as well as paid superannuation for the first 12 months of leave to support our people’s future financial wellbeing.
An additional five days (Be You Leave) to spend time doing the things that matter.
An expanded Be Well Benefit, which goes beyond gym and pilates class memberships to incorporate other ‘wellbeing’ activities which range from arts and music lessons to yoga and floatation tank sessions.
Emerging leaders
Every year we select ‘emerging leaders’ to join our Chair and CEO to represent Bank First at the Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA) annual conference.
This year Lin, Vanessa, Tim, and Shannon will fly the Bank First flag. They will meet other under 35 ‘emerging leaders’ from throughout Australia – representing Australia’s 56 mutual banks.
