For the ninth year in a row, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank’s board of directors and executive leadership have awarded a midyear bonus to employees, supported by the bank’s continued savings under the federal tax law. The bonus serves as a tangible expression of appreciation for the dedication and contributions of the bank’s team. All employees, excluding executive management, were eligible to receive the bonus.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the dedication our team shows every day and the pride they take in their work,” said Kyle DeCicco, president and CEO of Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “We recognize that our success begins and ends with the strength of our people, and continuing our midyear bonus tradition for the ninth year is one way we recognize and thank them for the meaningful contributions they make to the bank and our community.”
The bank’s workforce reflects a strong culture of stability and engagement, with an average employee tenure of over eight years. Over 65% of team members have been with the bank for five or more years; 35% have been with the bank for over a decade; and six employees have remained since its founding in 2003.
Sanibel Captiva Community Bank fosters a workplace centered on open communication, professional growth, recognition, work-life harmony and fun.
