For a second consecutive year, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank was named one of the “Best Places to Work in Southwest Florida” by Gulfshore Business. The bank was chosen as one of 22 Southwest Florida company honorees after an assessment and selection process conducted by Best Companies Group, an independent research firm that specializes in identifying and recognizing great places to work.
Companies from across the region entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Southwest Florida. The process consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics in addition to an employee survey to measure employee experience. Combined scores determined the top companies and final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the process in Southwest Florida and analyzed the data to determine the companies selected. Winners appeared in the June issue of Gulfshore Business.
“Being named a ‘Best Place to Work’ in Southwest Florida for the second consecutive year is a tremendous honor. This recognition reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team, who strive every day to create a positive and supportive environment,” said Kyle DeCicco, president and CEO of Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “Because our employees feel valued, supported and motivated, they are more engaged and productive. Prioritizing our team members’ personal well-being helps strengthen the bank and our ability to better serve our customers and community.”
