To be Known as a "Great Place to Work"
It is one of our goals as a Company to be known as "A Great Place to Work," and from the moment you walk through the doors at FDLIC, you know that there is something different about this place. In the way we care for one another, help one another, work and collaborate together, and encourage and pray for one another, it is evident that FDLIC truly is a great place to work. Through these actions toward "one another," we have established a sense of family and true caring that cannot be completely explained.
Our work environment is also enhanced by certain programs that we offer:
Attractive Benefits Package
FDLIC provides its employees with a comprehensive benefits package that includes Company-paid health insurance, a 401(k) match, and life insurance and much more. Also included in our benefits is a health and wellness exercise center that employees can benefit from during breaks or before or after work hours. Besides offering a very generous benefits package, FDLIC also assists employees in furthering their education by offering scholarships to them--in any area of study, regardless of the application to our business. Through our scholarship program, we hope to show our employees that we care about them, and that our desire is for them to pursue their dreams.
The HOPE Program (Helping Our People Excel)
The HOPE Program was established to assist employees that may be having financial or personal problems. Through the HOPE Program, we desire to help our employees get through tough times, relieve some stress, and improve their personal, spiritual, family, and work lives. The program has successfully helped several of our employees and their families make it through some very difficult times.
In-House Seminars
FDLIC also sponsors voluntary in-house seminars and book studies to assist employees with various areas of their personal lives. Topics of study might range from personal finances, to finding our purpose in life, to discovering new ways to interact with our children.
Employee Luncheons
Employee luncheons are hosted regularly to provide a fun and relaxing break from routine. We are also able to promote and encourage open communication, deliver announcements and updates, present our performance plus awards to one another, and simply enjoy each others' company. These luncheons have helped us achieve a close-knit, family-like environment, thus promoting an atmosphere of trust.
Principles of Performance
As a Company, we stress the importance of encouraging one another to become better employees and co-workers every day. Our "Principles of Performance" are a written set of standards and expectations given to all employees. These "Principles of Performance" have helped us define and establish our special and unique work environment. Through emphasizing our core principles from the beginning of our employment relationships, we have successfully reduced turnover, maintained high morale, and even maintained relationships when employment separation was necessary.
Performance Plus Awards
Each year, every home office employee has the opportunity to give a bonus to any other employee that they feel deserves a bonus for doing great work or for working toward the achievement of any of our strategic objectives. The employee can present one $100 bonus or two $50 bonuses each year.
