Business Wire
For the fifth consecutive year, Discover received a Top
Workplaces honor by Columbus CEO Magazine. The 2017 list identifies
companies in the Columbus area with exemplary work environments, as
rated by their employees.
“Discover’s dedication to our employees matches our commitment
to our customers. We believe our employees and the customer service
we provide are one of our greatest strengths,” said Keith Carroll,
Discover’s vice president of operations in New Albany. “We will
continue to cultivate an engaging environment that encourages
employees to have both successful business results and balance
their lives outside of work.”
The Top Workplaces list is based on the results of an employee
feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a research
firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace
improvement. Discover employees emphasized the company’s
appreciation of their work and its focus on a healthy work-life
balance.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And
oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,”
says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top
Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for
organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than
the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and
time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to
them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how
it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it
together. Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t
have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
Discover employees can take advantage of benefits such as
tuition reimbursement, maternity and paternity leave, and many
professional development opportunities. They also begin their
career with 20 to 25 paid time off days that are prorated depending
on their start date. The New Albany Customer Care Center features a
number of amenities for employees onsite, including a fitness
center, health clinic, walking path, masseuse and cafe.
