Horizon Bank Once Again Named Best Banks to Work For
Michigan City, IN - Horizon Bank has been named one of the 2022 Best Banks to Work For. American Banker has partnered with Best Companies Group to identify banks that excel at creating positive and supportive workplaces for employees.
This year 90 banks earned a spot in the ranking of Best Banks to Work For, based on an anonymous employee survey and a thorough review of the benefits and perks offered. The full 2022 Best Banks to Work For list will be featured at www.americanbanker.com.
“The banks recognized on this list are trying hard to create workplaces that employees want to join,” said Chana R. Schoenberger, Editor-in-Chief of American Banker. “Especially during this moment when companies are experiencing a shift
in how, where, and how much employees work, banks are paying attention to how they can best retain their people.”
On the 2022 list, Horizon Bank was ranked No. 70 in the category for banks with $7.6 billion in assets. It is the second time that Horizon has been recognized by the annual Best Banks to Work For program. The survey and awards
program is designed to identify and honor banks with the best cultures for helping employees thrive.
Determining the Best Banks to Work For involved a two-step process. The first 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 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% of the total evaluation.
The combined scores determined the final ranking.
“Horizon has a people first philosophy and is dedicated to offering all Advisors a positive work life balance. At Horizon, we are committed to fostering a diverse workforce, and a supportive culture where our Advisors are valued and feel empowered
to achieve their goals. We continue to learn and grow from different perspectives, which give us an exciting future to look forward to,” says Kathi Tilling, Horizon Bank’s Human Resources & Diversity and Inclusion Officer.
To be considered for participation, banks had to have at least 50 employees working in the U.S. and been in business for a minimum of one year. Best Companies Group managed the registration and survey process and also analyzed the data to determine the
final ranking.
“We are proud to receive recognition as one of American Bankers ‘Best Banks to Work For’. Our Advisors are truly our best assets, as they have a passion for what they do and a desire to succeed,” said Horizon Chairman and CEO Craig
Dwight. “We are committed to offering an inclusive and collaborative environment where our Advisors can continue to thrive in a safe work environment that encourages participation and feedback.”
