The executive team at this financial services firm has done “a superb job of navigating a dynamic environment,” raves one employee. While approximately 40% of the company’s 16,500-strong workforce were previously equipped to work from home, Synchrony ramped that up to near 100% within two weeks. The company prevented layoffs by instituting a hiring freeze and announcing a voluntary severance program. Synchrony Summer Camp came together quickly, too, pairing more than 3,600 younger children with older kids as “counselors” in a virtual camp setting where over 600 activities including yoga, science experiments, and sign language were on the menu. The stock, which had plummeted to near $12 at the depths of the pandemic, has since rebounded to $42.
