By focusing on associate wellbeing, we not only cultivate an engaged workplace culture but drive excellence in everything we do.”

Gallup’s CEO, Jon Clifton, said the award is “a testament to a culture where people aren’t just important – they’re everything at Regions.”
Associate engagement is a year-round strategic priority at Regions Bank. Over the last decade, Regions has fostered a strengths-based culture focused on empowering associates to deliver their best on behalf of customers and communities served by the bank. This focus includes investing in manager development, positioning leaders to serve as coaches who provide continual, individualized feedback that enables performance and elevates the customer experience. Further, the bank’s approach prioritizes an inclusive, values-based, and performance-driven culture where teams remain focused on achieving the company’s mission to make life better.
The ratio of engaged employees to actively disengaged employees for GEWA winners is 11 times higher than the global average. Worldwide, only 23% of employees are engaged – that is, committed to their work and connected to their workplace – and just 33% of employees in the U.S. workforce are engaged. Seventy percent of employees at winning GEWA organizations are engaged.
Gallup’s meta-analysis on team engagement and performance is the most comprehensive workplace study ever conducted, with data on more than 2 million employees in 276 organizations across 54 industries and 96 countries. Highly engaged organizations significantly outperform their peers in important business outcomes, including customer ratings, profitability, productivity, turnover, safety incidents, shrinkage, absenteeism, quality, wellbeing, and organizational citizenship.
