Heartland Bank has been named one of the Best Banks to Work For in 2017. This is the first time a bank from Nebraska has been named to the list, with Heartland Bank ranking 45th out of 75 recipients of the designation.
The Best Banks to Work For program, initiated in 2013 by American Banker and Best Companies Group, identifies, recognizes and honors U.S. banks for outstanding employee satisfaction. Full results of this year’s program are available at American Banker and in the September issue of American Banker magazine.
“Our annual ranking recognizes the financial institutions that are committed to investing in employees’ job satisfaction, career development and personal growth – a ‘return on assets’ that can be hard to measure by traditional means,” said Marc Hochstein, editor in chief of American Banker. “One of the most valuable assets for any organization is the team of people it employs, and banks are no exception.”
Heartland Bank President and CEO John Wilkins attributed the achievement to the efforts of all associates. “I can’t thank our associates enough for what they do daily for each other, our customers and our communities. We have an outstanding team of associates at Heartland Bank and we are honored to be named one of the Best Banks to Work For in the U.S.”
Determining the Best Banks to Work For involves a two-step process. The first step involves an evaluation of participating companies’ workplace policies, practices, and demographics. In the second step, employee surveys are conducted to directly assess the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. The combined scores determine the top banks and 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.
