Machias Savings Bank one of the Best
Machias Savings Bank has been named one of the “Best Banks to Work For” by American Banker Magazine. In all, 50 banks from across the country achieved the “Best Bank” status.
Machias Savings Bank ranked No. 17 overall in the nation and was the only bank in New England to make the list.
The complete “Best Banks to Work For” list is featured in the September issue of American Banker Magazine and is available online at www.AmericanBanker.com.
“We are truly honored to receive this distinguished award,” said Larry Barker, president and CEO for Machias Savings Bank. “We have known for a long time that Machias Savings Bank is an awesome place to work and the word is getting out. Our dedicated employees and their commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience are the driving force behind our success.”
Determining the Best Banks to Work For is a two-step process. The first step consisted of evaluating each participating bank’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. This part of the process was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top banks and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final ranking.
“We have worked hard to provide a culture that embraces fun with a family focused atmosphere, without losing sight of customer service. Knowing that employee feedback was largely used to determine our recognition for this award confirms that our culture appeals to our employees,” stated Danielle Caricofe, senior vice president, human resources.
The “Best Banks to Work For” program was initiated in 2013 as a way to recognize and honor the best banks to work for in the nation and is a project of American Banker and Best Companies Group.
