Three cool things:
- Busey celebrates a Random Acts of Kindness Week each February, encouraging kindness and paying it forward; during Associate Appreciation Month every September, staff members receive special prizes through the month. A Mission Moments program allows peer-to-peer recognition of staff.
- A program called Taking Flight supports all new associates during their first year in the firm. The program’s first four weeks include cultural awareness and diversity training.
- To encourage consistent time investment in their communities, employees receive two hours of paid time to volunteer each month.
Employees say:
- “The people at Busey are what make it worth working here. If I was not surrounded by such great people who care about me as a person and my development, it would not be as easy to come in every day. It really feels like a family in the office I am in.”
- “Busey has a strong, team-centered approach that allows multiple experiences across many departments. This helps keep employees engaged with the work at hand.”
- “The organization cares about its associates, clients and community. There is an amazing team of credentialed and compassionate individuals who are dedicated to serving and helping people achieve their goals.”
