Today is Linda’s Birthday. I’m not going to tell you how old she is today because she might throw a stapler or hole punch at me, but let’s just say it’s a milestone. Anyhow, one of the things that happens around here on employee birthdays is that Greg Mitchell, our CEO, calls you and tells you Happy Birthday. It seems like a really small thing, but it’s not. It shows you that everyone around here matters and everyone around here is part of a family.
I know lots of companies will say “oh but we’re a family around here,” but really, do you get that feeling? In my short time here at California National Bank, I’ve witnessed all sorts of instances where I see that people care about each other. From potlucks, to bake sales, to people doing nice things for their co-workers, it happens all the time around here. That attitude seems to permeate from department to department here at corporate and it filters down to the branches as well. Like phone calls on your birthday, or someone in one of our branches taking the time to ensure that you are getting the best service possible, it’s the little things that matter.
Josh Heydorff is the Senior Recruiter at Cal National Bank. Linda did not put him up to this post.
Happy Happy Birthday
