About the Top Workplaces Survey Methodology

S

urvey feedback from employees is the sole basis for determining Top Workplaces. And that feedback serves as the ultimate test of how employers are responding in the age of COVID. This marks the ninth year Columbus CEO has partnered with Philadelphiabased Energage to rank the Top Workplaces in the Columbus metro area. The foundation of the program is a scientific survey of employees who rate their workplace culture.

Join the Twitter conversation on Top Workplaces at #CEOWork.

“In times of great change, it is more important than ever to maintain a connection among employees,” says Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward based on real-time insights into what works best for your organization.” Surveying began last July, when Columbus CEO started running news articles and promotions to welcome nominations for Top Workplaces consideration. In all, 1,172 employers in the region were invited to have their employees take the survey. Any organization was eligible to participate, provided it had at least 50 employees in the region. Employers could be public, private, nonprofit or governmental. There is no cost to enter the Top Workplaces program. Combined, the companies surveyed for the 2021 program employed 30,294 people in the Columbus metro area. Of employees who received questionnaires, 17,433 responded, either on paper or online. This year, 77 employers earned

recognition as Top Workplaces. The employee engagement survey of 24 questions gathers responses regarding issues relating to workplace culture: • Alignment – where the company is headed, its values, cooperation, effective meetings • Coaching – managers care about concerns, are helpful, encourage employee development • Connection – employees feel appreciated, work is meaningful, working at full potential, feel informed • Engagement – productivity, retention, recruiting • Leadership – confidence in company leaders • Performance – execution, openmindedness, innovation, clued-in leadership • The Basics – pay, benefits, work/life flexibility, training, expectations Want your organization to participate in the 2022 program?

Secrets to success

These three companies have ranked on our list for years—here’s why.

By Jess Deyo

T

o be named a Top Workplace is no overnight feat. Instead, it takes time and true dedication to creating an environment that a team can truly thrive in, and for nearly a decade, these three companies have adjusted, listened and grown to continuously meet and exceed expectations. Ricart Automotive has placed as a Top Workplace for nine years, but president Rick Ricart is the first to admit the road wasn’t always smooth. Just over a decade ago, the company faced the challenge of redemption, not only for

customers, but for the team. Ricart credits his understanding of the company to his father and uncle, who started him at Ricart Auto at the very bottom of the totem pole. In a period called “the gauntlet,” Ricart jokes, he was required to work more hours than any other team member and pull the best numbers, with little credit. For the eight years he worked alongside other employees, he valued the authentic feedback he would get from customers. Still, he recalls feeling shocked when a 2010 Nissan survey revealed that while Ricart Auto was the closest Nissan

“We knew we had to do something on a monumental change to redirect the entire culture of the company.” Rick Ricart, president, Ricart Automotive

dealer to many, they still wouldn’t choose to give the company their service—67 percent credited this to poor reputation or past experience. “We knew we had to do something on a monumental change to redirect the entire culture of the company,” Ricart says. Soon after, Ford Motor Co. unveiled the “customer experience movement,” which included a survey for employees to assess the quality of the workplace. Something like that would usually have been overlooked by Ricart Auto, Ricart says, but the company decided to survey over 500 employees on how they felt about management. The feedback was less than ideal. The need for change at this point was unquestionable, and it started first with having the humility to look in the mirror and admit there was room to improve. Because the team spent such a long time working at the company, it was crucial to make it known that they are family, Ricart says. Ricart recalls the dealer’s founder, Paul Ricart Sr., was famous for saying: “You take care of your employees, your customers and vendors—in that order.” Channeling that energy, Ricart first notes that the team began to stick up for employees more, understanding that sometimes, the customer may not be right. Next in the series of changes was the switch to hourly pay versus commission, a rare model for a car dealership.

Staff is “more than advocates. They’re more than just ambassadors of our brand. They truly are family,” Rick Ricart says.

The S-S Bendure Hartwig team

Regardless of the day an employee had, it is fundamental that they still get paid, Ricart says. Under the new system, after 18 months team members can switch to commission if they choose. The schedule also changed to allow employees four days on and three days off. A weekend free each month became a promise. More advances in workplace culture followed, including a dedicated “Rules of the road” guidebook, and just two years later, Ricart Auto placed as a Top Workplace, a title it has held ever since. This is the highest honor for Ricart, for whom the team is the top priority. “Our staff is more than advocates. They’re more than just ambassadors of our brand,” he says. “They truly are family. And they take pride in that, they take pride in telling their family.” With good seed in fertile ground, there will be growth. That’s how Jim Surace, owner of the S-S Bendure Hartwig insurance agency, describes not only the company, but the staff, who have nominated the agency eight years consecutively as a Top Workplace. Goodness starts from the inside out, and the workplace reflects that belief, he says. It wasn’t in Surace’s plan to work in life insurance, but rather a calling from God, he says. Prior, he worked in real estate. It was 1983 when he started working for McKinney, Texas-based American Income

“It’s not just all about making the money. To us, money is more a symptom of a better mission, which is to serve people.” Jim Surace Owner, S-S Bendure Hartwig Life Insurance Co., and within two years, he became the agency owner for what is today known as S-S Bendure Hartwig. In 2006, Surace brought on Marcus Smith as a partner. In 2018, Pat Bendure and Dan Hartwig joined the two. Each partner brought a strong work ethic, Surace says, and as employees first, they had an opportunity to learn about the company’s top values: mind, body and spirit. Those three values are seen in all facets of the company. Employees, or “business athletes,” as Surace calls them, commonly carry with them a competitive nature, nurtured by sports or other activities. The competitive drive they offer is a gift that can be adapted perfectly for the business setting, and the team teaches them how to market themselves both on and off the clock. Surace and the executive team also

work to ingrain a service mentality in team members. S-S Bendure Hartwig is one of few insurance agencies that still offer in-home consultations, and to take that personalized service further, the team is raised to have a serve, not sell, approach that many lack. “It’s not just all about making the money,” Surace says. “To us, money is more a symptom of a better mission, which is to serve people.” With a focus on the spiritual side, Surace also offers a monthly meeting designed to relate life lessons to the Bible to help his team understand their personal journey. While voluntary, about 80 percent of the staff attends, he says. For partner Bendure, maintaining the mind, body, spirit concept is a must. The team is like family, and that status is achieved by always making himself available to the nearly 130 employees, Top Workplaces 2021 l ColumbusCEO

TopWorkplaces2021.indd 9

4/21/21 10:42 AM


something many executives forget to do, he says. After nearly four decades with the company, Surace spends most of his time mentoring his staff and working to ensure they are becoming their best selves—dedication he believes contributes to the company’s status. “I know that if our people are standing on solid ground, if they’re pouring into their mind and they’re keeping healthy,” Surace says. “If they’re spiritually in a good place, they’re more undaunted by those things life will throw at them and don’t succumb to the valleys of life.” There’s no denying that COVID-19 has ushered in hardship and new operations for many businesses. However, for RevLocal CEO Marc Hawk, the virus also brought something good for the digital marketing company. Despite a pandemic year, the company placed as a Top Workplace for its seventh consecutive year. The company’s Granville headquarters was filled with a high-energy, inviting culture before COVID-19, and while the office remains largely unoccupied today, the energy has not shifted. Instead, the

team has adapted and come together in a new way. “COVID has become a high point for us because it became a fire that we all had to walk through together,” Hawk says. “Once you’ve done something really difficult together, there’s a bond there.” The shift to at-home work changed the operations of the company’s 180 salespeople and the entire staff’s day-to-day.

In such a crucial time for adjustment, Hawk shares that the secret to maintaining a positive environment is to be an active listener. Instead of a top-down model, leadership sought guidance from all levels. Changes included an increase in daily communication and virtual one-onones, offering continuous recognition and remaining dedicated to providing

“COVID has become a high point for us because it became a fire that we all had to walk through together. Once you’ve done something really difficult together, there’s a bond there.” Marc Hawk CEO, RevLocal a workplace the team looks forward to returning to. Together, the team has also managed to earn back the losses that resulted from the first three months of the pandemic. Much of the stress of these sudden shifts was eased by the longstanding values at RevLocal: be real, go beyond and help someone. These three values were established thanks to a survey of customers and staff that questioned what people think about the company, Hawk says, and it was fundamental to establishing the current culture. To the team, being real encompasses transparency and honesty, even when the truth isn’t ideal, both internally and externally. To go beyond is to do the scrappy work that others shy away from, a value Hawk says creates a better version of ourselves, which also ties into the value of stepping out of the convenience of comfort zones to help others. “With a culture like that, we can manage a lot of the change that’s happened to us,” Hawk says. “And that will continue to happen. It’s not stopping.” Over time, the strategies of RevLocal have grown and changed vastly to meet the needs of a growing market. However, the values the company exhibits have largely stayed the same. In this way, as the company grows, those who serve it also can grow. “We believe if our people live those [values], then our clients will feel value, our clients will be loyal to us,” Hawk says. “If we treat each other in these ways, we’ll also be loyal to each other and have a great working environment.”

Large Employer

On the up and up Ever since its 2018 founding, Lower has grown rapidly while maintaining its founding values. By Bob Vitale

B

efore he launched his first business venture, Dan Snyder spent 10 years working for others in the financial industry. He saw decisions made and policies implemented that he considered smart, and he saw plenty of things he disagreed with. He observed one constant, though, and fixing that common workplace flaw has become a priority at Lower, the two-year-old New Albany-based financial technology company that has created a one-stop shop for customers who can save for a home, find a real-estate agent to help them locate it, get a mortgage with favorable terms and a competitive interest rate, and buy insurance. There was never enough communication at the other places he has worked, Snyder says, so as Lower’s CEO and founder, he tells employees to offer feedback about anything and everything. “If you don’t like something—if you don’t

like the coffee we’re serving—don’t tell your neighbor,” he says. “Tell someone or leave a suggestion. We’ll do something about it if we can.” Strong, open communication is all part of the Snyder’s mission to create an unshakable workplace culture that he says not only helped the company survive the disruption of COVID-19 but allowed the venture to thrive through it. Lower added 300 employees to its payroll in 2020, he says, and it currently brings in about 50 new employees for training every other week. Companies that overthink their culture often end up creating inauthentic environments that simply make people roll their eyes, Snyder says. Companies that do it right—and doing it right means belief, buy-in and commitment from the people in charge, too—attract and retain top talent. “Culture needs to be top-down,” he says. “If I don’t believe in it, no one will believe in it.”

Lower had been in business for just 15 months when the shift to remote work occurred, Snyder says, but employees didn’t miss a beat. Weekly standup meetings turned into 500-person Zoom calls. Although Snyder insists culture isn’t built on happy hours and workplace ping pong tables, team leaders initiated online games and contests to maintain some sense of camaraderie. It all helped the startup company capitalize on pandemic-fueled growth in people’s acceptance of remote business. In December, Lower added savings accounts and other services to its original focus on mortgage loan origination. In January, the company launched an app for its customers that makes its services even more accessible. He says many of Lower’s new employees either lost jobs or left companies where the pandemic made them feel insecure about their future. “We picked up so many good people that

“Culture needs to be top-down. If I don’t believe in it, no one will believe in it.” Dan Snyder, founder and CEO, Lower

we wouldn’t have otherwise.” For Snyder, workplace culture is built on trust. At Lower, which ranked as a Top Workplace in the midsize category last year, trust has been built on principles such as promoting from within, rewarding people’s hard work and—counter to the pop-culture portrayal of startup environments—not punishing those who do their jobs well but don’t care to climb a corporate ladder, he says. Snyder also believes that Lower built enough “culture capital” with its workforce during its short time before the pandemic that employees kept their faith in the company when the world

became uncertain. “This is why you build up a strong culture from the beginning,” he says. “Culture builds trust.” Lower employees who filled out Energage’s Top Workplaces survey touched on nearly every facet of their jobs—from pay and training to coworkers and managers to opportunities for advancement and belief in the company’s mission—to explain why they like their jobs. “Everyone listens to everyone,” one employee wrote. “If you see a problem, bring it to someone’s attention and it gets discussed and resolved quickly.” Chelsea Wagner was one of Lower’s original employees, one of eight people who built the company while working for Homeside Financial, a home-loan company Snyder founded in 2014. Today, she’s the company’s regional vice president of lending. She says her biggest fear was that

Lower’s vaunted workplace culture would get diluted by rapid growth, but it never did. After expanding to a second floor of its original home on Walton Parkway in New Albany, Lower’s growing team relocated to Smith’s Mill Road. Wagner says she has found, however, that people buy in quickly to Lower’s contagious culture. Yesterday’s new employees have become team leaders for the next wave of hires. Employees also tend to recommend Lower to friends and sell them on the workplace to begin with. The happy hours and company outings and subsidized cafeteria weren’t listed by any of the Lower employees surveyed by Energage. Photos are all over the Lower’s social media and job-search sites like Glassdoor, but the perks are first brought up by Snyder as perks that the company’s culture isn’t built on.

Investing in the future Northwestern Mutual creates close ties with its people from their very first interaction.

hen Amanda Brodzinski was a marketing major at Ohio State University in 2017, she wasn’t sure exactly what profession she’d pursue when she’d graduate a year later. She knew she wanted to be in front of people and make an impact on their lives and she considers herself fortunate that she landed an internship that allowed her to do just that. Brodzinski spent a year and a half “test driving” a financial advising career at Northwestern Mutual’s Columbus office, and during her time, she found that the company deeply cared about her personal goals and showed an interest in involving her family in fun activities outside the typical workday. Today, Brodzinski continues to flourish at Northwestern Mutual and is deeply involved in the internship program that impacted her so greatly.

“If I’m able to have an impact on our interns and help them start their career, then they can advance and impact interns in the future,” she says. “It also expands my reach and allows me to make a bigger impact on the community.” The internship program is a source of pride for the financial services firm. Last year, for the 25th consecutive year, Northwestern Mutual’s College Financial Representative internship program was ranked by Vault as one of the 100 best in the country. Columbus managing partner Troy Kemelgor says the program will continue to be not only an opportunity to attract and retain top employees in a tight talent market, but a way to help more young women and those of diverse backgrounds get exposed to the field of financial planning. “We plan to double down on our ef-

forts [to have a top internship program] and lead in that space,” Kemelgor says. “It helps us bring in the best and the brightest to fulfill what our responsibility is. We have about $20 billion of protection and assets sitting on the books right here in central Ohio. That’s a big responsibility, and it impacts a lot of people’s lives and generational planning.”

Creating community Northwestern Mutual’s Columbus office is part of a larger company based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Kemelgor has been in charge of the local office since 2008 and has had a keen focus on its corporate culture ever since. Though the company was founded in 1857, he describes it as youthful, with professionals like Brodzinski planting their roots

and growing. The company operates under a philosophy of four core values: courage, personal responsibility, integrity and growth. Several years ago, Kemelgor established what he describes as three “organic” groups: diversity and inclusion, community outreach and social committees. He didn’t want members of his executive leadership team to rotate through chair roles like president or vice president and instead had associates join the teams. “We wanted to really focus on the inclusion aspect—how do people feel when they’re within our hallways,” he says. “How do they feel representing you as an organization.” The committees are a big piece of the attraction and retention of hires. Kemelgor says Columbus has a wealth of talent, and people are attracted to places where they can do meaningful work and make an impact. The community outreach committee supports causes like the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer, No Kid Fights Cancer Alone, Habitat for Humanity and LifeCare Alliance. A member of the social committee for

“We have about $20 billion of protection and assets sitting on the books right here in central Ohio. That’s a big responsibility, and it impacts a lot of people’s lives and generational planning.” Troy Kemelgor, managing partner, Northwestern Mutual two years, Brodzinski loved the planned events for their ability to bring everyone together, regardless of status, she says. Prior to the pandemic, there were family picnics, card tournaments and a variety of parties held at least once a month.

Pulling through Like many companies, as the pandemic intensified in the spring of 2020, Northwestern Mutual increased communication with its associates to help ease anxiety tied to massive uncertainty. Outreach wasn’t about spreadsheets or financial forecasts but instead focused on providing support on and off the clock. “It was about just being heard,” Kemelgor says. “The tone from the top that we

intended to set and continue to convey has really helped us create an environment where people can thrive.” The company had a record year in 2020 and has set all-time revenue records in 12 of the past 13 years, Kemelgor says. As vaccines continue to roll out, the firm will allow associates to work the way that’s most comfortable for them given the success of the prior year. “We’ll continue to look for ways to support our associates and respect their feelings as we continue to work our way through this,” Kemelgor says. “At the same time, we’ll continue to be an organization that leads and educates central Ohio communities on the importance of financial wellness.”

Building momentum Gathi Analytics is on its way up, and the drive is rooted in its people. By CYNTHIA BENT FINDLAY

in the way the company hires and hones its team. “I tell my team, delivering SAS is the ultimate team sport,” Kora says. “You end up working with people you never would have met and in time zones on all sides of the planet.” Gathi employees are encouraged and empowered to make decisions independently, which leads to a nimbleness for the company, and also to extremely high job satisfaction. The company also offers a rapid path to equity—Kora says it can happen within six months of employment. “I don’t subscribe to the winnertake-all kind of capitalism,” Kora says.

“I always make it clear I’m more than happy to just have 40 percent of the company and let all the right people own the remaining equity.” And rather than throwing newbies into the deep end, Gathi goes all in on trainee support with a multi-week program assigning them to mentors who give them front row seats to projects, so in six to eight weeks they can hit the ground running. After the onboarding process Kora gives hires live client work while not charging the clients. “So, it’s not a financial burden for them, and the candidate gets tremendous exposure with development you can’t

ire the right people, empower and incentivize them to make their mark, and great things are sure to follow. It’s a simple recipe, but it’s working for Gathi Analytics. Gathi provides data analytics to aid decision makers around governance and customer engagement. Only four years old, Gathi has already established an impressive resume. Clients include Alliance Data, global insurance brokerage Lockton, the City of Dublin and more. Gathi has grown rapidly, from just four people in 2017 to 125 today who are based in Hyderabad, India, Dublin, and in offices with clients around the world. Founder and CEO Vamsi Kora says more hires are on tap, with plans to grow to 150 employees by June and 200 by the end of 2021. Revenue is projected to jump from $9 million in 2020 to more than $25 million in 2021. Kora founded the company in 2017 out of a desire to use his industry expertise and his team-building experience and strengths, which is reflected

replicate outside the corporate world, and that goes on three to six months. When we believe they have client-facing capabilities, then we place them into billable work,” Kora says. “You don’t always see that in every company,” says Aaron Newcomer, a senior data solutions architect for Gathi. “It’s great for us to be able to help train people and also good for those getting trained.” Gathi’s culture was a big part of the appeal for Newcomer, who previously worked for one of Gathi’s clients and was attracted by the deep ties not only between Gathi’s own team but with those it serves. “Vamsi gives people the autonomy to do things without micromanaging, and he hires people who have the drive and capabilities to do things,” Newcomer says. “Sometimes it can be challenging; it’s always easier to be told exactly what to do, but it’s a lot more fun and rewarding to have the autonomy to shape your role.” Newcomer adds that he and other employees appreciate the transparency with which Kora runs the company, which would later pay off during the pandemic. Kora worked hard to maintain con-

“I think one of the big things is, Vamsi reiterated every time we had a meeting, ‘Stay connected, keep talking,’ and that helped people feel part of a team, rather than an individual working remotely on the same project.” Aaron Newcomer, senior data solutions architect, Gathi Analytics nection and face time among already farflung teams and established extra online group work sessions and happy hours. “So we still felt a sense of working with real people, remembering what faces looked like,” Newcomer says. “I think one of the big things is that Vamsi reiterated every time we had a meeting, ‘Stay connected, keep talking,’ and that helped people feel part of a team, rather than an individual working remotely on the same project,” he says. Kora also established a fund in the U.S. and India to donate to food pantries, and Kora says most employees donated three days’ salary within the first three months, which the company matched dollar for dollar. From the beginning, Kora says his goal was to build a best-in-class company

people wanted to be a part of, advance the field of data science and machine learning and advance the communities Gathi operates in. The term Gathi is meant to be representative of the relationship with data and movement of data while gaining momentum—the meaning of the word. But it’s clear that cultivating the team is as near and dear to Kora’s heart as much as building a successful enterprise. “What you do in terms of your own discipline, of getting beyond the bits and bytes of management and understand the other person and put yourself in others’ shoes, those are the things that are extremely important to me,” Kora says.

Special Awards Meaningfulness

J

on Hersh, founder of Homewatch CareGivers of Columbus, isn’t surprised to receive the Top Workplaces special award for both meaningfulness and leadership this year. “What our caregivers and clients have—it’s not like a regular employeeemployer relationship,” says Hersh, who opened his Homewatch franchise 18

years ago. “They become very close, some working together over years and years.” Homewatch provides in-home care and primarily works with people who have developmental or mental disabilities. They provide a wide range of services for clients who live independently or require continuous care. For the home-based care industry, COVID-19 changed everything, from keeping health care workers and clients healthy to responding to a continuously growing demand. People with disabilities who would previously spend half their day at group activities or jobs were forced to stay home, sometimes needing constant care. As of January, the Homewatch team became eligible for vaccines in Ohio. While many chose not to be immediately vaccinated, today the vast majority have

“They see who’s going to be a good fit for the individual and the task,” she says. Henderson also appreciates that the Homewatch team asks for caretakers’ ideas. “[Homewatch] values our input,

COVID-19, that’s not possible. Today, it requires extra ingenuity for caregivers to keep their clients engaged, she says. Henderson has flexed these new skills by taking up the hobbies of her clients. For one client who enjoys cooking, she takes them to the library to research recipes and build a grocery list. Later, she takes them to buy ingredients and they cook together—some recent endeavors have been a taco bake and calzones. “You’ve got to get creative,” Henderson says, adding that Homewatch’s team will help brainstorm activities if caregivers are having trouble engaging them. These days, Homewatch is perpetually hiring, Hersh says. They have close to 80 employees compared to 50 last year, however, 85 to 90 employees are needed. Revenue for 2020 is roughly $2.75 million, up 40 percent from 2019. To keep morale up, he likes to offer gift cards to team members. There’s no telling when the increased demand for Homewatch’s services will steady, but for now, the team will continue to quickly expand. Amy Braunschweiger is a freelance writer.

he instruments Lake Shore Cryotronics makes can measure temperature down to five thousandths of a degree of absolute zero, but they can’t measure the magic that goes into building a workforce that clicks. That’s CEO Michael Swartz’s job.

Lake Shore provides sensors, instruments and systems that help researchers characterize semiconductor and magnet materials used to advance materials science—“The types of materials that might end up in your cell phones five or 10 years from now,” says Swartz. Cryotronics refers to the extremely low temperatures Lake Shore’s tools can measure and help maintain, useful for probing, among other things, semiconductor materials that operate faster at temperatures close to absolute zero— about -459 degrees Fahrenheit, colder than the temperature in space. Lake Shore Cryotronics was founded in 1968 in Minerva Park by Swartz’s father John Swartz, an Ohio State University engineer, and his uncle, David Swartz. The company has remained family-owned ever since.

Sanders loves the chance to choose between four 10-hour or five eight-hour days. She also appreciates the company’s encouragement toward personal growth. The company’s care helped carry everyone through the pandemic, Sanders says. Though only half of the company was able to work remotely due to the amount of manufacturing Lake Shore does, Sanders says the changes the company made helped everyone feel safe. Lake Shore also works hard to instill a sense of mission. “I know that one of our products was on the rover that recently landed on Mars. The company is really good at acknowledging whenever we meet big commitments, or have projects like that, so everyone can congratulate that team,” Sanders says. “We’re taking part in the science that’s changing people’s lives, so I think that’s motivating to a lot of people.” Cynthia Bent Findlay is a freelance writer.

had Hoffman has a simple leadership philosophy. “Nothing says banking has to be boring and painful,” says the CEO of Richwood Banking Co. “I want us to be the Disney of banking; the happiest place on Earth.”

While there are no amusement rides or space mountains at Richwood’s eight Ohio-based branches, there are coffee shops in four, which raise money for local charities, a series of professionaldevelopment classes modeled on the Disney Institute, daily group “huddles” and quarterly celebrations. “I’m a big believer that customers of a business can’t love it unless the employees love it first,” Hoffman says. Hoffman’s leadership style and happybanking goals seem to be working. Under his leadership, Richwood will open its ninth branch in Bellefontaine in May. His team also sings praise—in the Top Workplaces Energage survey, employees commented: “I feel needed,” “I love who I work with,” and “I feel appreciated.” Hoffman was named CEO of Richwood in 2007, the fourth member of hi

“Nothing says banking has to be boring and painful. I want us to be the Disney of banking; the happiest place on Earth.”

The pandemic has also shifted the staff dynamic to less face-to-face interaction, Hoffman says. Richwood normally holds quarterly celebrations with games and performances for the team, but now the events are virtual. Despite the change, the top priority is to continue bringing everyone together. Hoffman adds that he’s not a micromanaging CEO and enjoys giving talented people free reign to come up with new ideas, such as Wirtz, who led the development of an in-house advertising agency that helps local companies with their branding, advertising and connection with the community. Richwood’s commitment to employees, customers and the community is paying off. At the end of 2017, the bank had just over $500 million in assets. The goal was to reach $1 billion in 2023; however, the team already met that goal in February, Hoffman says. As Richwood continues to grow, so will Hoffman, who studies leadership and is a big believer in life-long learning to better all facets of his life, including the ability to lead his team.

COVID-19, Richwood seems to be an exception. When traffic was down, Richwood remodeled its lobbies and added four coffee shops. “We wanted customers to feel comfortable to hang out and, when they’re ready, to talk to us,” Wirtz says.

Because banks aren’t allowed to “do commerce,” Wirtz says, a donation model is used at the coffee shops. It’s raised about $300,000 for local non-profits. One of the most popular features at the cafes are “cookie Fridays,” featuring baked-inthe-bank Otis Spunkmeyer cookies.
