OXFORD, MASSACHUSETTS — Hometown Financial Group, parent company of bankHometown, was recently awarded a Top Workplaces 2022 honor by Hartford Courant Top Workplaces.

The honor is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

“We’re incredibly proud that we’ve been recognized by the Hartford Courant as a standout organization in the area of people-first culture excellence,” said bankHometown President and CEO Robert J. Morton. “This award is a testament to our talented employees and the rewarding workplace culture they cultivate by living our core values on a daily basis. Our employees are our greatest asset, and we remain committed to fostering a positive, inclusive, and team-oriented work environment that allows them to focus on helping our customers and community unlock their potential and reach their financial goals.”
