Who says you can’t have FUN at work? Not the team members at First United National Bank – The FUN Bank.

Executive Secretary and HR Director, Jennifer Benson, had the idea to formally create an Employee Appreciation Committee in 2020. The committee is divided into 4 subcommittees: the FUN-tastic Program, Annual Company Picnic, Employee Appreciation Week, and the MilestoneYear Recognition Program.

January 1 launched the FUN-tastic Program. This program gives employees the opportunity to nominate one another to recognize a time when a coworker went above and beyond their expectations.

Although the FUN-tastic program is designed to recognize a coworker’s extra effort, a side benefit is that the nominated employee’s sense of pride carries through into their work.

Recent Employees of the Month include: Pam (Franklin) in January, Mary (Oil City) in February, and Jan (Fryburg) in March.
