For the fifth consecutive year, Crain’s Chicago Business has recognized First Bank Chicago, formerly known as First Bank of Highland Park, as a Top 100 finalist in its annual Best Places to Work ranking. The award program, which surveys hundreds of employees across Chicagoland, identifies and recognizes the Chicago area’s best employers and provides organizations with valuable employee feedback.
Determining the companies on the list involved an in-depth, two-step process. Each participating company was first evaluated on its policies, practices, and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. Employees were then anonymously surveyed, assessing their experiences and attitudes with respect to their workplace. The combination of the two determines the best companies and the final ranking.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Crain’s for the fifth year in a row. We truly value and appreciate our team and continually recognize their outstanding efforts and contributions to our success with our clients and our community,” said CEO & President Eric Ephraim. “Last year, we had a one percent turnover rate. We hope that says a lot about our culture and work environment. For us, it’s simple. Treat people right and we all do well.”
For over 65 years, First Bank Chicago has prioritized employee satisfaction and continues to provide comprehensive benefits, including ample PTO, 401(k) matching, profit sharing, competitive pay, work from home opportunities, company outings, continued education, career advancement and much more. First Bank’s focus on culture has become even more apparent in today’s current environment, where they have incorporated a hybrid work policy.
