PINE BLUFF, Ark., Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Simmons Bank has been named to Arkansas
Business' list of Best Places to Work for a third year in a row.
The award recognizes Simmons and 46 other companies as the best
employers in Arkansas, benefiting
the state's economy, workforce and businesses.
Companies across the state applied for the award by completing a
two-part survey. The first portion of the survey assessed
companies' workplace policies, practices, philosophies, systems and
demographics. The second portion – worth approximately 75 percent
of the total evaluation – measured internal experience through an
employee survey. Combined scores determined the winners.
"We truly believe that what sets Simmons apart is our people,"
said George Makris Jr., chairman and
CEO for Simmons First National Corporation. "That belief, coupled
with our 100-plus-year heritage as a community bank, makes us
passionate about taking care of everyone who walks through our
doors, whether they are here for a job or a financial service."
One of the bank's strategic pillars is being a Great Place to
Work. Simmons' approximate 2,900 associates are provided with
numerous benefits and programs to support this aim, such as a
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.
Simmons' Arkansas Business recognition follows Forbes' August
announcement naming the bank a "Best-in-State Employer" for
Arkansas.
