The list is made up of 67 companies, classified in four categories – Small Employers, Midsize Employers, Large Employers and Enterprise Employers – based on employee counts in the region. BankFive won for the Large Employers category.
“BankFive is honored that Providence Business News and Best Companies Group have recognized us as one of 2023’s Best Places to Work in Rhode Island,” said BankFive President and CEO Anne P. Tangen. “Our philosophy is that investing in your employees is priceless and the ROI is too. I would like to thank our team for making BankFive a great place to work and for bringing empathy, integrity, and a sense of community to everything we do.”
Companies from Rhode Island entered a two-part survey process to determine the 2023 Best Places to Work in Rhode Island. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data, and determined the final rankings.
The honorees will be recognized for their efforts on June 7th in a ceremony at Crowne Plaza Providence-Warwick, where the company rankings in each category will be announced. Each honoree will also be profiled in a special section of the June 9-22 print edition of PBN.
