Independence Bank was recently named among the 2023 Best Places to Work in Kentucky for the 15th time. The company ranked second in the medium category, and was the highest-ranking bank across all size categories.
“We continue to explore unique ways to make our Bank an exemplary place of employment,” said Simone Montaven, Independence Bank Director of Human Resources. “Here at IB we value the whole person, not just job performance. This is why we offer a number of atypical benefits, including a no-cost comprehensive behavioral wellness program for all employees and dependents, pet insurance, paid leave and more. In addition to the ever-growing catalog of bank training, employees now have access to expanded personal and professional development offering including internal and external professional coaching.”
The rankings are compiled by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management.
The selection process, managed by the Workforce Research Group, bases results on an assessment of the company’s employee policies and procedures, paired with the responses of an anonymous internal employee survey.
Independence Bank competes in the medium division, which includes other organizations ranging from 150-499 employees.
“There are so many metrics in our financial industry sector that can be considered measurements of success,” Independence Bank President Jacob Reid said. “But, perhaps, the most pivotal achievement is finding people who are passionately fueled by purpose in their positions. It is a privilege to collaborate alongside them in ways that are fair to our customers and communities. We create an environment that allows everyone to excel— regardless of their role.”
Independence Bank is a regional community bank with 27 locations in Calloway, Daviess, Fayette, Franklin, Graves, Hancock, Henderson, Hopkins, Jefferson, Logan, McCracken, McLean, Shelby, Warren, and Webster counties.
