Bryant Bank opened in 2005 with the vision to see every Alabamian experience a financially stable future and live in a thriving community. To accomplish this, bankers put care into action to help others invest in their full potential. Bryant Bank cares because Alabama is their home, too. The Bank operates in the Huntsville, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Baldwin County markets with 15 branches and offers personal, business, and mortgage banking services.

Challenge: Interpreting the process around AAP Plan Implementation

Patty Ratliff, Bryant Bank's HR Director, started working for the company a year after opening when the bank had only two locations and approximately 35 employees.

Ratliff was a one-person operation when the bank first opened. However, as Bryant Bank grew, she quickly recognized she needed support from an outside vendor, especially when the bank became required to create an Affirmative Action Plan.

Solution: A responsive team that was able to provide accurate reporting that can be easily understood

"Our consultant at OutSolve is always a pleasure to work with, and she is always extremely responsive to our requests," said Ratliff.

OutSolve served as not only a consultant to Bryant Bank but a trusted, reliable partner whom the bank could call or turn to at any point.

Results: An HR staff that is confident in its compliance and whose employees can spend time doing other crucial work while OutSolve handles its Affirmative Action needs

Due to OutSolve's affirmative action planning services and thorough reporting, Bryant Bank has confidence its Affirmative Action plan and related HR documents have been accurately prepared and they are in compliance.
