Three cool things:
- Employees with two years of service become eligible for an employer discretionary contribution to their retirement plans equal to 8% of their salaries.
- To build a robust pipeline, the firm uses college recruitment software to contact underrepresented students across the country about employment opportunities at NISA, has emailed more than 4,000 diverse students about job openings and has a program that awards scholarships to students at seven St. Louis-area universities to promote education in areas such as economics and finance.
- Company-sponsored events for employees and their families have included St. Louis Cardinals baseball games, a day at Six Flags amusement park, 5Ks and marathons, a holiday gala and a farm outing.
Employees say:
- “Employees are treated as real humans with needs and potential and not as disposable. And there is a conscious effort made toward employee physical and mental well-being and not just productivity. And the lunch is great.”
- “NISA values my contributions as an employee and continually pushes me to improve my skills either by direct recommendation by my manager or simply by needing (me) to complete a specific task.”
- “NISA hires intelligent, hardworking and curious individuals, which not only creates a positive work environment that other employees want to be a part of, but helps retention in the long term … Management pushes you to challenge yourself and grow within your role, but not at the expense of sleep, your personal life, or spending time in the morning putting on dress clothes every day.”
