Alpine Bank has historically contributed seven percent of each employee’s salary to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), an important source of retirement savings.
“Very few companies out there can say they’re employee-owned,” says Shelbi Bauer, Assistant Vice President. In fact, at Alpine Bank, employees own a majority share of our privately held company.
With an ownership interest, employees typically report that they have a high satisfaction level with their work and gratification in their role with the bank. That means less turnover, which ultimately translates into better customer service. And superior service has been, and remains, our top priority both internally and externally at Alpine Bank.
As a retired senior, I can attest to the value of Alpine Banks ESOP retirement plan in which its employees are privileged to participate. Being an employee owner comes with the prospect of substantial financial incentives, 100% provided by Alpine Bank. Once retired and the steady stream of paychecks cease, the comforting influence of Alpine Bank’s ESOP distributions cannot be overestimated.
