We added even more depth of talent to our board this year as Bradford (Brad) H. Warner joined
us as a director. Brad spent over 30 years in banking as a senior executive at Fleet Bank®
and Bank of
America®
, and we will benefit greatly from his decades of industry experience.
Our great people always stand ready to lend a hand to others, especially during this challenging
economic period. In 2008, our associates donated tens of thousands of hours of their time to
helping our communities. However, our people did not give just their time and money. They also
contributed their ingenuity.
At Capital One, we feel a strong sense of duty to provide financial education, especially to kids.
Working with Junior Achievement®
, we set up an innovative mobile classroom called Finance Park
where kids learn how to manage a household budget
through very realistic role play. We have rolled out Finance
Park across our banking footprint. It has been such a
tremendous hit that Fairfax County in Virginia has made it
required curriculum for all 12,000 of its eighth-graders.
We also opened the first fully operational bank branch
in a public school at Fordham Leadership Academy in
New York. The branch is run by the students and has
made such an impact that it has been visited by the
Comptroller of the Currency and the head of the FDIC.
Building on this success, we got the green light to build
a second student run branch in Newark (NJ) at West Side High School. The grand opening for
the Newark branch was in November of 2008.
Our company continued to be recognized for its talent management and workplace practices.
While we do not judge our company by awards, external recognition can validate things we already
know about our culture. At Capital One, we always strive to be a great company for leaders. We
were gratified to be ranked number two in North America and number five globally on Fortune’s
“Best Companies for Leaders” list.
We also emphasize being a place where every person feels empowered to succeed. In 2008, we
were named as one of the most adoption-friendly workplaces in America by the Dave Thomas
Foundation for Adoption®
, citing our adoption reimbursement and parental leave programs. We
were ranked as one of the top 50 companies in America for diversity by DiversityInc®
magazine.
LGBT organizations continued to recognize us for our culture and policies. And our “flexible
work” programs, which promote alternative and mobile work arrangements, were again hailed
for the flexibility they provide to working families. Through these types of investments, we
have created an environment where we attract the brightest and most motivated people from
all walks of life to choose Capital One.
