July 15 2019 - 10:00AM
Simmons Bank has been named to Arkansas Business’ list of Best
Places to Work for a second year in a row. The award recognizes
Simmons and 45 other companies as the best employers in Arkansas,
benefiting the state’s economy, workforce and businesses.
“At Simmons, we are deeply focused on going the extra mile for
our associates,” said Marty Casteel, chairman and CEO of Simmons
Bank. “Not only does this attract talent and instill loyalty, but
our extra mile culture is also felt by our customers.”
One of the bank’s core strategic pillars is being a Great Place
to Work. Simmons’ 2,700 associates are provided with numerous
benefits and programs to support this aim, such as a multi-layered
well-being program that covers emotional, personal and financial
wellness in addition to physical health. Leadership development
programs such as NEXTGen, which pairs rising associates with
executive mentors, are also designed to help associates live their
best lives.
To be considered for the Arkansas Business award, companies had
to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business or government
entity
- Be a publicly or privately held business
- Have a facility in Arkansas
- Have at least 15 employees in Arkansas
- Be in business a minimum of one year
Companies from across the state applied for the award by
completing a two-part survey. The first portion of the survey,
worth 25 percent of the total evaluation, assessed companies’
workplace policies, practices, philosophies, systems and
demographics. The second portion, worth approximately 75 percent of
the total evaluation, consisted of an employee survey to measure
the internal experience. The combined scores determined the top
companies and final rankings.
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey
process in Arkansas, analyzed the data and determined the final
rankings. For more information on the Best Places to Work in
