Our Culture

Hard work, yes … but with a balanced approach

The culture at FPI is almost as important as the way in which we do business with our customers. We work hard, but we also recognize that our talented pool of aggressive, smart staff is more important to our customers' success than our products are.

That is why we may be a little irreverent here at FPI. We have a ping pong table, for example, so we can blow off steam once in a while. Our CEO sponsors an annual St. Paddy's Day bash and we serve popcorn every afternoon at 3 p.m.

But none of this detracts from the FPI mission.

We've built a successful technology staff of people who are both topflight technologists and "people friendly." Attracting and retaining this kind of talent pool is critical to our success and a major reason why we're so focused on our corporate culture.

Thanks to a creative management team, an enthusiastic staff and an aggressive vision for staying on the cutting edge of technology and customer service, FPI proves that a company can experience a high level of business success and enjoy the work that we do.

Communication is the key

Why has FPI achieved so much success in such a short time? Probably because we believe that superior communication drives performance. Management teams run regularly scheduled meetings that feature opinion sharing and dialogue from everyone at the table.

Company-wide, no one is left in the dark regarding policies, initiatives and constructive critiques of systems and procedures. When everyone is in the loop and informed, surprises rarely occur.

FPI believes that informed employees are more productive. The same principles of frequent, open-minded and candid communications are carried over to all relationships with Farm Credit associations, too.

FPI is not all about technology. We are a people business.
