FNBO believes that the quality of our employee experience is at the heart of our customer experience. One key pillar of our intended employee experience is Belonging. Belonging means we are committed to fostering a workplace culture where employees of all backgrounds feel valued, recognized, and empowered to be their authentic selves — no matter their role or where they are in their journey.

As part of our Great Big, Small Bank, every employee should feel a deep sense of belonging.

One important way we advance this work is through BIG — our Belonging & Inclusion Group. Open to all employees, BIG runs internal awareness campaigns, hosts events intended to foster greater belonging and serves as a platform where all employees can speak as one about how they’d like to see belonging realized. In short, BIG is the way that any employee can play a role in delivering our intended employee experience to our customers and communities, as well as to their colleagues.

Through BIG, FNBO is proud to celebrate many different cultures throughout the year.
