St. Cloud, Minn. (November 8, 2021) – American Banker has unveiled its 2021 Best Banks to Work For listing, which includes 90 banks across the United States. Among those selected, Central Minnesota-based Stearns Bank has landed at No. 26.
The annual list highlighted the many ways banks have responded to the changing landscape of finding and keeping excellent employees at a time when doing so has been intense.
Stearns Bank, which is employee owned, kept employee wellness – mind, body and spirit – at the forefront of planning as the pandemic set in and has held onto the many lessons learned through the experience.
As employees shifted their lives and worked tirelessly to meet the changing needs of customers across the nation, the organization went to great lengths to make self-prioritization, supported by an impressive benefits package, an intense focus. Such measures have helped to avoid burnout, encourage connection in remote workplace situations and maintained the strength and stability of the bank.
Stearns Bank is proud to make this important list and thanks the incredible employees who share their time and talent to make success possible.
