EASTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS — Hometown Financial Group today was named to the list of 2022 top workplaces by Energage.

The Top Workplaces USA award is based solely on feedback from employees of participating workplaces, gathered through an anonymous, third-party survey administered by Energage, LLC, a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools. More than 42,000 organizations from across the country were invited to participate in the Top Workplaces USA survey. Results were calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including 15 culture drivers that are proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks. Winners are recognized for their dedication to people-first culture excellence.

“We’re honored that our organization has been nationally recognized as an employer of choice, and humbled that this honor is the direct result of positive feedback from those who know us best: our employees,” said Hometown Financial Group President and CEO Matthew S. Sosik. “I’m inspired every day by our talented employees, who are passionate about our mission of local, community banking and deeply committed to helping our customers unlock their potential to reach their financial goals, while fostering a work environment that’s inclusive, innovative, team-oriented, and fun.”
