Full results of this year’s program are available at American Banker.
In addition to researching each bank’s overall story, American Banker surveys employees with in-depth questions to provide significant data about employee engagement. Banks making the list tend to prioritize engaged leaders, a strong corporate culture, job training and advancement and a feeling of belonging within the organization. Generous employee benefits, such as paid time off to volunteer and regular employee appreciation events, were also key, as was making time to have fun as a group.
“We are extremely proud of being selected a Best Bank to Work For, again,” stated Alice P. Frazier, President and CEO of BCT. “Our leadership teams work hard to create a top-of-class employee experience. Having employees continue to validate our approach is extremely gratifying. Moreover, their survey feedback provides valuable intelligence about how to continue making BCT a great place to build a career.”
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final ranking. The program is open to commercial banks, thrifts, savings banks and other chartered retail financial institutions with at least 50 employees in the United States. Those who made the ranking this year ranged in size from 52 to 5,200.
