Our Culture

As we live our core values in day-to-day tasks, every team member’s actions make a difference, and each of us contributes to a culture of professionalism and to the success of OceanFirst Bank.

Christopher D. Maher

Our Core Values

COMMITMENT

"Commitment means being willing to do whatever it takes to better the company, whether that’s putting in extra time when needed, learning new things, or taking on different roles."

Ashley Navin, Software Engineering Manager

LEADERSHIP

"Leadership is making a way for our employees and customers when it seems like there is no way and giving them the resources they need to be successful in their day-to-day life and in the future."

Issan Acosta, TCS Customer Resource Manager

CUSTOMER-FOCUSED

"Being a customer-focused organization, we work hard every day to exceed expectations. Much of our planning and product design, particularly on the digital front, is based on the customer experience."

Anthony Giordano, Chief Retail Banking Officer

 

TEAMWORK

"We have a camaraderie, and we work together using our collective experience to grow and expand the bank."

Daniel Harris, New York Regional President

 

INTEGRITY

"Integrity is being honest and consistent, holding ourselves and our team members to open, fair and accountable standards."

Joseph Lebel III, President & Chief Operating Officer

 

ERG

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide a forum for members to contribute to the Company’s culture of valuing, respecting, and educating employees on distinct identities, leading to acceptance, understanding, and a sense of community. ERGs help establish connections among group members, encourage mentorship, and network for employees with common identities. Groups are led by employee volunteers and are aligned with an executive leadership team sponsor. ERG leadership includes the Diversity & Inclusion Council, WomenLEAD, and WaveMakers.
