Commitment to Our Associates

Supporting our associates in their personal growth and development is one of the most important things we do at Oakworth. We created our Associate Development Process to encourage ongoing meaningful discussions where associates focus on their future rather than having a typical annual evaluation that focuses on what happened in the past & can’t be changed. This allows our associates to be creative when navigating their career within Oakworth and offers built in support to help them succeed.

Our Associate Testimonials

Picture of Cindy

Paul Bear Bryant has a quote that I read every day and try to live by. He said, “Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.” – I try my best to take care of every little thing.

What makes the Oakworth approach unique and special is that our clients have a person to call to get a question answered. We have a team of people around each client. It is important to me to have answers for my client no matter what the issue is, that they are able to have one point of contact to get to a solution.

Picture of Duane

Everyone at Oakworth is friendly and happy to be at work. If I could tell a potential candidate one thing, it would be that Oakworth is the place you want to retire from. Everyone has a common goal to see this place succeed.

What makes Oakworth’s culture so different from other places I’ve worked is the Golden Rule. I’ve always felt that if you treat people with respect they will return that and will become a loyal client. When I first met with the OCB leadership team, I conveyed that and then they showed me the Core Values and I knew it was going to be the perfect fit.

People. Service. Easy.

When asked what our clients value the most about their relationship with Oakworth, they say it’s our people, service and we make their financial lives easy. Our associates are the difference!

Associate Development Process

Our associates are what make Oakworth such a great place to work and do business. In the spirit of Helping People Succeed, we are committed to supporting the growth and development of our internal team. Our Associate Development Process is designed to support you while reinforcing the importance of living out our Core Values through our Leadership Qualities.
