Working with Christinne Johnson at FirstBank
As part of its “banking for good” philosophy, FirstBank hired Employee Fanatix to enhance its company culture. We worked together to give employees more of a voice and a stake in the business.
As a result, “Communication is much more woven into how we operate now as an HR team and has been a huge benefit.” -Christinne Johnson, former President, Human Resources at FirstBank
