Sr Commercial Portfolio Manager

Employees at HomeTrust Bank have a positive vision for the future because our leadership team presents a vision that is easy to understand and communicates frequently via company-wide videos about where we stand relative to our stated goals. The phrase “Ready for What’s Next” is at the core of our culture. At HTB, we foster a culture of thinking and acting like an owner and taking intelligent risks, while keeping things fun.

Employees are encouraged to approach each day with integrity, professional courage, teamwork, continuous growth, and to embrace diversity. HTB strives to uphold these values every day and encourage extraordinary success through our 33 culture fundamentals. These fundamentals outline how we work with each other, our clients, and our partners.

Our CEO serves as a model of HomeTrust Bank values by doing the right thing, always. This is our #1 culture fundamental and our CEO, Hunter Westbrook, demonstrates this fundamental each day through honesty, accessibility, and integrity.

We show respect and ensure that all voices are heard and ideas are valued throughout HomeTrust Bank by providing employees with opportunities to share feedback through our annual employee engagement survey and subsequent action plans which allow employees and their leaders to identify and work on areas of opportunity as well as continue the things we do well. In addition, our CEO conducts skip-level meetings to get honest feedback from employees. In 2023, we conducted a corporate wide, “Kill a Stupid Rule” contest, which allowed employees to submit ideas and share their perspectives on what we can do to streamline processes for our customers and employees to make HTB a more efficient place to bank and work while maintaining appropriate compliance, safety, and quality. Submissions could be for something that we needed to stop completely or change/update to make it more efficient. A cross-departmental committee was formed to review and evaluate submissions to roll up the top submissions to the Executive Management Team for selecting the contest winners which was followed by planning for the implementation of solutions for the winning submissions.

Employees collaborate throughout HomeTrust Bank by getting clear on expectations, speaking straight, and embracing diverse perspectives. We encourage collaboration because at HTB we feel that by sharing information and working together allows us to find better solutions for our customers inside and outside of the bank.
