Bankrate
Bankrate Leadership & Management
Frequently Asked Questions
Manager support was one of Bankrate's strongest areas in the company's own employee pulse survey this year. Two questions in particular stood out among the highest-rated in the entire survey: whether managers create an environment where it's safe to raise concerns or ideas, and whether managers provide the guidance and support employees need to be successful. Both scored among the top strengths company-wide.
That's not an accident. Every people manager and senior leader goes through a structured leadership development program, built with outside experts to close specific leadership gaps rather than deliver one-size-fits-all training. Managers are expected to give people real clarity, not just direction: clear job descriptions tied to what the role actually needs, and regular one-on-one check-ins built into the rhythm of the year rather than left to chance.
Bankrate also holds itself accountable to this with data. The same pulse survey that surfaced these strengths runs regularly, and results shape where leadership development focuses next.
