SouthWest 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.
Ninety 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. SouthWest Bank ranked 21.
“The banks recognized on this list are trying hard to create workplaces that employees want to join,” Chana R. Schoenberger, Editor-in-Chief of American Banker, said. “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.”
“We are honored to make this list for the fifth time – and as one of the top banks in Texas! At SouthWest Bank, we’ve placed an importance on creating a culture where our people enjoy coming to work. When people enjoy coming to work, they enjoy serving our customers, and that resonates with our customers,” Dewey Bryant, CEO of SouthWest Bank, said.
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.
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.
