RIDGELAND, MISS. (December 13, 2023) – For the 11th consecutive year, BankPlus has been named one
of the 2023 Best Banks to Work For by American Banker. Since the program’s inception in 2013,
BankPlus is one of only six banks throughout the country to have been selected as a Best Bank to Work
For all 11 years of the program. This year, 90 banks earned a spot in the ranking.
American Banker partnered with Best Companies Group to identify banks across the United States that
excel at creating positive and supportive workplaces for employees based on an anonymous employee
survey and a thorough review of the benefits, work cultures, and perks offered. The full 2023 Best Banks
to Work For list is on 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.”
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.
“For BankPlus to be recognized as a Best Bank to Work For 11 years in a row speaks to how deeply we
care about the kind of environment we foster for our employees. We have created something really
special,” said Jack Webb, BankPlus President and CEO. “This recognition is awarded to us from the
feedback our team has provided. For that, I am truly grateful and feel honored to work with such
talented and driven people each day.”
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 analyzed the data to determine the final ranking.
“As a team, we are constantly revisiting our purpose and mission to ensure we remain true to our core
beliefs,” said Alison Tyler, BankPlus Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. “I am
proud we can help offer great people great opportunities within our company. BankPlus is on a
remarkable path, and I am proud to provide our team with an environment in which they can grow and
thrive.”
