Valuing the unique identities and contributions of all

Valuing the unique identities and contributions of all

At CNB, we’re devoted to creating a culture with a commitment to our values and corporate responsibility.

We have a vision that drives our efforts here at CNB… To find a way to say “Yes” to our clients, co-workers, and communities. A key element underlying this vision is our commitment to fostering, promoting, and preserving a culture with a commitment to our values and corporate responsibility.

Our success in sustaining and growing our franchise since 1865 is based on several core values, with one of those being mutual respect. At its core, respecting others means ensuring our business values and actions align with The Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” In The Golden Rule, the term “others” has no qualifiers. Accordingly, we welcome and include all others as our employees, customers, and investors, benefitting from the collective strength and wisdom of their varying experiences, views, and backgrounds.

It’s personal for us.

It’s personal for us.

We understand that the viability, growth and expansion of the local business economy are directly linked to diverse and inclusive practices. It is our purpose to maintain a positive work environment that values individual similarities and differences in the workforce, workplace, and the marketplace. Impressia Bank is committed to successfully integrating diversity and inclusion into every facet of our business.

The DEI Committee meets monthly and is comprised of employees including underrepresented minorities, females, and those who identify as LGBTQIA+, as well as several senior executive level members, with the following committee responsibilities and goals:

  • Encourage an inclusive and engaged workforce culture through communications and training
  • Demonstrate sustainability, commitment, and accountability by tracking employee experience and engagement bank wide
  • Bring awareness to the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion

Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do

When you add different perspectives, experiences and voices to the table, you just get different ideas you maybe never thought about, or different solutions or new ways of looking at things that benefit our employees, our community, and the clients we serve.

Equal pay for equal work

It’s not only about equality, it’s about equity. We act on the diverse needs of our workforce, partners, communities and customers we serve. Men and women earn the same pay for the same work, globally, and the same is true for our underrepresented employees and their white peers in the U.S.

Every year, the Bank conducts an equity review of all employees. Since 2022, 57 women employees have benefited from equity adjustments. These adjustments are vital to ensure that we are upholding our commitment to provide a fair and competitive salary to all our employees, and serve as a means to remain accountable for our actions.

Employee Resource Groups

DEI is in our DNA

With over 800 employees across four states, our Employee Resource Groups breathe life into CNB’s culture and support a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that bring together those who share common interests, backgrounds, and goals to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. The ERG Program launched with the Women in Banking, Bankers with Pride and CNB in Color groups, which provide a safe place for employees to engage with and advocate for each other.

Women in Banking

CNB has a strong culture and purpose for women to develop their career. CNB’s Women in Banking ERG provides the opportunity for women to support one another as they position themselves as candidates for roles that they aspire to attain. The purpose is to create opportunities for participants to expand their internal network with trusted colleagues that will help navigate career challenges and choices and to ensure women find their voice and place at the table.

Bankers With Pride

Bankers with Pride is CNB’s employee resource group that provides a safe and supportive space for the bank’s LGBTQIA+ employees and allies. The group aims to foster inclusivity and belongingness within the organization.

CNB in Color

The CNB in Color Employee Resources Group serves its members by helping to create an environment of equity and respect that attracts and values diverse individuals who are encouraged to contribute their perspectives to the overall success of an institution that stands in service to society.

The goal of this group is to invite all employees together in a professional setting to learn and dialogue about issues of race and ethnic equity and to foster a sense of community among employees to better support People of Color in the workplace.

By the Numbers

Among the means we use to monitor our performance in employee diversity, equity, and inclusion management, we take recurring management and employee demographic measurements and engagement surveys, and utilize the results to identify progress made, as well as areas in need of more attention, in improving the diversity, equity, and inclusion of our leadership and workforce profile, and personnel management practices.
