 South Carolina Bank & Trust provides a number of perks and benefits to its employees. They can take advantage of incentive programs based on individual production as well as a mentoring program in which members of executive management are assigned three employees per quarter to meet with them monthly and discuss progress in their career and their future goals.
A few positions at South Carolina Bank and Trust allow telecommuting, particularly in unique situations, such as an employee who needs to care for an ill family member.
The company’s wellness program, SCBT Movers and Shakers, gives employees the opportunity to earn SCBT bucks when they accomplish a wellness goal. In the SCBT Shrinkdown 2007, employees lost a combined 290 pounds.
Employees can take advantage of personal days for such activities as volunteering or school functions. South Bank and Trust offers an employee referral program, giving an employee up to $1,000 for recruiting a new employee to the bank.
The employee expectations survey has been conducted annually since 2000 with all employees offering their opinions on what the company can do differently, what they like and issues of concern. The anonymous responses are calculated, and the bank conducts focus groups with all levels of employees to dig deeper into the results and come up with ideas. Some changes resulting from the surveys are increased vacation and sick time, personal days, an employee stock purchase plan and a vision program.
South Carolina Bank and Trust offers a competitive benefits package, term life coverage and dependent life coverage. It also matches employee 401(k) contributions at 100% up to the first 6% of an employee’s contribution.
