People's United Bank is an organization where you can both learn and contribute. We're a forward-thinking,
customer-focused organization that embraces new ideas and believes in continuous improvement of our employees,
products and services.
We firmly believe that engaged employees are the reason behind our continuing success and strong financial
performance - that's why we invest significant time and energy in developing people to become effective leaders,
managers and individual contributors.
Our employee strategy - Workplace of Choice Partnership - emphasizes collaboration between managers and
employees. Employees are coached, mentored and actively encouraged to take on new responsibilities and progress
in their careers. In our culture, performance is both expected and rewarded.
For over 165 years, we have actively fostered an environment of inclusiveness where diversity and individual
opinions matter. People are both our heritage and our future, and we are always looking for employees who can
drive performance - their own and that of others.
Our workforce reflects the diversity of our communities and our customers. We value and appreciate the
differences within our organization and encourage the creativity that stems from diverse backgrounds, cultures
and lifestyles. We believe commitment to diversity and inclusion fosters solutions that best meet the needs of
our employees and our customers.
The People's United Diversity Steering Team was created in 2001 and is comprised of representatives from all
areas of the bank. The team has established long-term objectives that maximize the values and opportunities of
diversity in our organization. These objectives address issues that affect our workforce, workplace and
marketplace. Each year, the team develops and implements a business plan that continues the bank's progress
toward achieving its long-term diversity objectives.
We are in a people business and in a very competitive industry, so we constantly strive to attract and retain
the best people. This means drawing from the most diverse talent base possible.
By optimizing the potential of every employee, there is no limit to what our organization can achieve. Diversity
creates sustainable, profitable growth and competitive advantage, and is critical to our continued success.
This fundamental belief in the importance of diversity drives our business practices, including recruitment,
leadership development, purchasing, as well as marketing and community outreach. From a business perspective,
that means market share growth, which goes right to the bottom line.
Our commitment to diversity is part of our overall focus on being the region's bank. When employees, customers
and stakeholders feel they are valued constituents of our organization, we have captured an important competitive
advantage and are well on our way to achieving our business goals.
