Our Commitment To a Welcoming Workplace Culture 

Hills Bank is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture that welcomes everyone. Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a part of not only our culture, but our reputation and company’s achievement as well.

We embrace our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.

We encourage and foster a culture that emphasizes: 

• Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees
• Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives
• Employer and employee contributions to the communities we serve

To achieve these goals, we expect all our employees to hold themselves to the following standards:

• All employees have a responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect at all times.
• All employees are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion during work, at work functions on or off the work site, and at all other company-sponsored and participative events.

Any employee found to have exhibited inappropriate conduct or behavior against others may be subject to disciplinary action.

Employees who believe they have been subjected to any kind of discrimination that conflicts with the company’s workplace policies should seek assistance from a supervisor or a Human Resources representative.
