At Citizens, we know no two career journeys look alike. Citizens Chief Human Resources Officer, Susan LaMonica, spoke with HR Daily Advisor about the unexpected pivots in her own journey, and how a family situation caused her to rethink her own priorities and life goals. Our newest Business Resource Group, Caring for Citizens for Working Parents & Caregivers, is a built-in community offering resources, advice, and benefits unique for each colleague.
With summer coming to an end, its time to start thinking about going back to school. We're proud to offer an Educational Assistance program that helps qualified colleagues continue their education. You can get reimbursed for tuition, fees and books (up to specified limits) when you successfully complete study related to business needs. Already have your degree? We offer reimbursement for certificates from accredited or approved institutions too!
We strive to do the right thing; for our business, customers, communities, and each other. That’s why inclusion, belonging and community are integral to relationships and success. Recently, we concluded our participation as a Convention sponsor of the 114th NAACP National Convention in Boston. As a result of this partnership, we had the opportunity to support innovators, change-makers, civil rights pioneers and community champions that continue to enhance civic engagement within our communities. As we continue building a workforce of the future, we leveraged this unique opportunity to engage with top-tier talent to discuss career opportunities at Citizens.
We've been named “Best Super-regional Bank in the U.S.” by Euromoney as part of the magazine’s Awards for Excellence 2023.

We're celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At Citizens, our commitment to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive world is woven into the very fabric of the company. Our AWAKE (AWareness Action Knowledge and Education) Business Resource Group is in its 5th year, with nearly 700 colleagues supporting one another on their unique journeys. The group provides education, awareness, and action for colleagues with differing abilities, striving for a supportive environment in which everyone feels accepted, appreciated and empowered. Our benefits offer enhanced autism coverage, including applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy, and mental health resources: free counseling sessions for you and your household, access to a personalized resiliency plan to help mitigate stress and burnout, and digital sleep and anxiety management programs. We’re keeping inclusive design at the forefront of product innovation, like the announcement earlier this year of our Citizens Private Client™ World Elite Mastercard® in partnership with Mastercard, which enables people who are blind or partially sighted to easily distinguish their payment cards from one another using touch alone. By working toward a world where everyone is seen, heard and respected, we are helping those we serve be ready for the best possible tomorrow.
We're proud to be named one of the “Best Places to Work for People with Disabilities” from the Disability Equality Index 2023. For the third consecutive year, we've earned a 90% score for the on the Disability Equality Index®, the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for the Fortune 1000 in measuring disability workplace inclusion.
With summer in full swing, our colleagues are taking time to relax and make memories with loved ones. According to Forbes, the average American worker gets only 11 paid vacation days a year. At Citizens, we believe time away from work has a positive impact on our emotional and mental health. That’s why our colleagues get 11 holidays and up to 27 PTO days (that you’re actually encouraged to use!) to unplug and recharge.
We hope everyone can take a moment to celebrate Independence Day. We wish our customers and colleagues a safe and Happy Fourth of July! 🎆🎇
