Employee engagement & professional development
Working together as one team
At Commerce, we believe in the power of collaboration. By working together, we connect our diverse skills and perspectives to innovate new solutions that meet unique customer needs. We believe our strong internal culture is one of the key drivers of our long-term success. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where our team of more than 4,500 individuals feels their voices are heard.
We are committed to holistic employee engagement that includes competitive benefits; professional development opportunities; diversity, equity and inclusion programming; robust onboarding and mentoring; and more. As a result of our efforts, we have been recognized by Forbes as a Best Mid-Size Employer for the fifth year in a row.
Doing everything we can to keep team members engaged
It is important to us that our team members feel engaged and empowered to grow with us. We pay close attention to how our team members feel, which helps us know what’s working well and where we can improve. Each year, we conduct a team member survey in partnership with Korn Ferry to gauge team members’ sense of engagement, enablement and overall satisfaction with their employment at Commerce.
Our differences make the difference
We believe our bank is made stronger by building a team with diverse perspectives, backgrounds and experience. For that reason, we strive to foster an inclusive environment where all team members feel empowered to speak and be heard. From how we recruit team members to how we approach team member engagement, we have programs dedicated to increasing representation at all levels of our bank and fostering a true sense of belonging. Our diversity, equity and inclusion commitment informs our relationships with our team members as well as our customers, community members and suppliers.

Team members helping team members
Commerce team members have a demonstrated passion for supporting our customers and communities — and their fellow team members. The Employee 2 Employee Foundation (E2E) was established in 2016 to enable a formal process for team members to help other team members. E2E aims to support team members that find themselves in a tough spot financially due to unforeseen events like medical or natural emergencies. E2E is a separate, independent nonprofit entity led by a board of directors with members from a variety of departments across the bank. The foundation is largely powered by Commerce team members’ contributions, and the E2E board reviews applications from team members requesting assistance. Since its inception, the E2E Foundation has distributed over $1,000,000 in support funds to more than 370 team members.
