“We have a very visible executive management team and open-door policy that is always available to meet with employees,” said Senior Vice President Michael Traficanti. “We have a formal suggestion program for employees to submit suggestions and feedback and provide a confidential/anonymous 1-800 number for employees to provide feedback, and complaints.”
This approach has paid off. A recent employee engagement survey indicated that 97 percent of employees are “willing to give extra effort to help this organization succeed” and 95 percent are “proud to work for this company,” while 94 percent would “recommend working” at One Nevada to a friend.
