What sets the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City apart from other organizations is our goal to be a premier employer whose employees personify our vision of trust and confidence. Becoming a premier employer is an ongoing journey, not a destination, and having a common understanding of what being a premier employer means will help make this goal a reality.

The following key attributes set us apart from other employers and exemplify what can be expected at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

Trust and Respect
Employees have respect for each other. A premium will be placed on the ability to bring out the best in one another and make everyone feel part of the team. The environment will be one in which trust is established and each of us respects and celebrates another’s input, differences, and successes regardless of position or rank.

Compensation and Benefits
The Bank’s total compensation philosophy will be competitive with relevant labor markets while accommodating the public/private nature of the Federal Reserve. Benefit programs will be of high quality relative to other employers in the marketplace. Compensation will be allocated based on work performance and contribution toward the attainment of the Bank’s goals. Our programs will be flexible in nature, allowing the Bank to respond to unique pressures and changing market conditions.

Sensitivity to Work Life Issues
The Bank will offer market-leading work/life benefits that help each of us to balance the demands of the workplace with personal responsibilities and interests.

Pride in Work and Organization
We take pride in our work and feel a strong sense of ownership and purpose. Each of us will have an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution and gain a sense of satisfaction from our work.

The Bank will have a level of community involvement that makes each employee proud to be a part of the organization. Opportunities will be identified for employees to represent the Bank in the community as we strive to be a visible corporate citizen.

Opportunity for Growth and Development
Ideas to improve the way we fulfill our responsibilities will be welcomed and rewarded. We are encouraged to take responsibility for making decisions and for ownership of our work. Each employee will be supported in establishing an individual development plan and have access to support systems including: training, education, and performance management processes. Bank-provided training and education will expand beyond what is job-specific, and employees will have the opportunity to develop new skills and pursue professional and personal growth and development.

Environment
The Bank is committed to offering a safe, attractive physical work environment. Facilities, equipment, and other resources will be of high quality to help us best carry out our responsibilities.

Camaraderie
Our culture will encourage an element of fun as we perform our jobs.

Workplace Stability
The Bank strives to maintain a stable workplace. Changing business conditions, however, may impact an employee’s career. If an employee’s job is changed or eliminated, the Bank will assist the employee in pursuing other opportunities within the Bank. If a suitable position is not available, there will be tangible support in terms of retraining or assistance in obtaining a position outside the Bank.
