Top Workplace (NOT) - Analyst FHLBank Chicago Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments regarding your experience at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. We take all feedback seriously. Let us start by telling you that we are grateful that you are currently part of our team. This means there is certainly an opportunity for us to work with you to better understand how we can overcome these challenges together. We invite the opportunity to speak with you directly to learn more about your frustrations. • Paid Time Off (PTO): We offer generous vacation days because we want employees to unplug and enjoy their personal time. If PTO is not being valued across teams, we can look into this matter and hope you will inform us if interrupted time off continues to be a concern. • Accountability: We stress accountability throughout our performance management process because it is an integral piece in building trust, learning from our mistakes, and creating strong teams. Managers and employees go through continuous coaching on what it means to be accountable – but if you are not seeing this in practice, we want to know more so we can identify the disconnect and course-correct as needed. • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): Here at the Bank, DEI is of utmost importance. From job growth opportunities to comfortability with virtual work, we strive to ensure everyone has the tools and support they need to be successful. When this is not an employee’s experience, it concerns us, and we want to address it. Your HR Business Partner and our Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are here to listen and directly tackle anything that is inconsistent with our culture and our commitments to our employees. Thank you for your continued service to the Bank and honest feedback. We hope to connect soon to learn more. Whether we get to speak to you directly or not, know that we hear you. Your comments are being reviewed thoughtfully and will help us continue fostering a culture that prioritizes each employee’s professional growth and overall experience.
