Three cool things:
Fort Washington holds an Associate Appreciation Day each year to recognize all employees for their contributions to the company. Staffers receive personalized notes, gift bags, an outdoor lunch, and ice cream and snow cones. Charitable fundraising campaign kickoffs also include art exhibits, charcuterie and an on-site barista.
The firm partners with the Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio’s African American Leadership Development Program and the Hispanic Chamber Cincinnati USA on initiatives to attract, retain and develop qualified candidates and staff.
An ethics hotline allows employees to anonymously report concerns to a third-party vendor that will not reveal associates’ identities without explicit consent. The concerns are recorded and routed to appropriate areas of the company, and if necessary, an investigation will be conducted.
Employees say:
“There are truly great people. I appreciate and respect my coworkers both professionally and personally. I enjoy them inside and outside of work.”
“The company is very philanthropic and makes the city of Cincinnati a better place to work and live.”
“I’ve never experienced a company as good as this one. Its culture, ethics and community interest are far above what I’ve seen in my other organizations. If I weren’t working here, I would never believe it existed.”
