ALEXANDRIA, La. — — Red River Bank has been named one of American Banker’s 2024 Best Banks to Work For, marking its place as a standout employer in the banking industry. The program, developed in partnership with Best Companies Group, identifies banks that create positive and supportive workplace environments for their employees.
This year, 90 banks earned a spot on the prestigious list, which is based on an anonymous employee survey and an in-depth review of company benefits and perks. Red River Bank ranked No. 24 overall and No. 4 in the category for banks with assets between $3 billion and $10 billion.
“The Best Banks to Work For represent institutions helping employees achieve their goals,” said Chana Schoenberger, editor-in-chief of American Banker. “These banks recognize how important it is for their staffers to be happy about the work they do and the environment in which they spend their days.”
Fostering a Culture of Growth and Care
Blake Chatelain, President and CEO of Red River Bank, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, saying:
“When we say ‘We’re Your People,’ we don’t just mean our customers; we extend that belief to our employees as well. At Red River Bank, we take pride in caring for our employees and helping them grow to reach their full potential. We frequently receive compliments on our company culture, and awards like this truly validate our efforts.”
How the Rankings Were Determined
The Best Banks to Work For rankings were determined through a two-step evaluation process:
- Review of Policies and Practices: Workplace policies, practices, and demographics accounted for 25% of the evaluation.
- Employee Surveys: Anonymous surveys assessing employee experiences and attitudes toward their workplace contributed 75% of the final score.
Combined scores from both phases determined the final rankings.
