Heartland Bank is proud to share a very successful aspect of its internal culture – women in various positions all through the ranks of Heartland, from entry level positions to the Chief Financial Officer. Jamie Taylor recognizes this attribute and is thankful to be a part of this diverse environment.

During the holiday season, the Heartland Bank family celebrates throughout the month with associate lunches, ugly sweater day, a silent auction and a holiday party that has been a tradition for over 30 years. Sharing and caring about each other is part of the Heartland culture, making the season one for reverence, thankfulness and celebration.

Heartland Bank will always take the opportunity this time of year to thank its clients, associates and communities. Relationships keep this community bank strong while allowing the bank to assist clients, neighbors, friends and family with their financial journeys and life’s greatest challenges.

When you want to know more about a business, take a deep dive into its culture, community presence and of course, its people. It won’t take long to understand the dynamics of the environment, and you’ll have a clear picture of the how and why behind the business’ success. Heartland Bank’s Jeanette Maddron is a clear example of everything Heartland, and she shares her belief that finding a “family” can change your life direction.

Career pathing can be a powerful bargaining tool when recruiting and retaining quality job candidates, while ultimately speaking volumes to a business’ culture. Strategic businesses offer this to their associates, which in turn promotes commitment and empowerment. Qualitative and quantitative data combine to provide associates with expectations for their futures at a company, allowing them to picture their progression and stay the course.
