Norwood Bank: Built on trust
W
hen a member of Amy Sobchuk's family
experienced a serious illness last year, leaders at
Norwood Bank immediately gave her the fl exibility
she needed to deal with the situation.
" The bank was amazing in allowing me to work fl exible
hours and not have to use all my time off up front, " says
Sobchuk, a compliance
specialist at the
$565 million-asset
community bank in
Norwood, Mass. " There
are other people here
who just need to run
out briefl y because their
child is ill or a parent is
ill, and it's nice to know

that no one here is ever going to question that you're
doing your job just because you have to run off to do
something for your family. "
That kind treatment of employees is a key reason
Norwood Bank came top of its asset class as one of this
year's Best Community Banks to Work For. " Of course, we
have regular employee guidelines and a paid time off policy,
but, on occasion, somebody's life might not fi t into those
guidelines, " says Carrie Shea, Norwood Bank's senior vice
president of retail banking. " So, we will be as fl exible as
possible for people to get their family life accomplished. "
The family-friendly atmosphere at Norwood Bank is
fostered by John Galvani, the community bank's president
Norwood Bank's
Norwood Bank's eight-member events committee
plans monthly off -site events that encourage
employees to get to know each other without
their work faces on. Recent outings have included
miniature golf and bowling, accompanied by food
and drinks.
" We've also had a couple of trivia nights, and we
made the teams up so that everyone was on a team
with people they don't normally interact with at the
bank, " says John Galvani, president and CEO of the
Norwood, Mass., community bank. " That makes
it much easier to say hi to people you might not
see very often. It makes us all be comfortable with
each other. "
