Country Bank Named Top Workplaces Award Winner for 2026

WARE — Country Bank announced it has been named a 2026 Top Workplaces Award winner for the second consecutive year, earning national recognition for the supportive workplace culture it continues to build across the local communities it serves.

Rooted in a long tradition of community banking, Country Bank credits this honor to its team members, whose dedication to one another helps shape a workplace centered on care, collaboration, and service.

Country Bank was also honored with Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards for employee well-being and work-life flexibility. These additional recognitions underscore the bank’s ongoing focus on supporting employees in meaningful ways.

For Country Bank, the recognition reflects more than an internal achievement; it highlights the connection between a strong workplace culture and the bank’s ability to serve families, businesses, and nonprofit organizations throughout the region. By investing in its employees and fostering a culture where people can thrive, the bank continues to strengthen the relationships that have long been at the heart of its mission.

“This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of our team members and the culture we continue to build together,” said Mary McGovern, president and CEO of Country Bank. “At Country Bank, we believe that, when employees feel supported, valued, and connected to a shared purpose, they are better able to care for our customers and give back to the communities we are proud to serve.”

Top Workplaces awards celebrate organizations that have built people-first workplace cultures within their sector. These awards recognize employers of choice based on feedback from a research-backed employee engagement survey.

“Creating a workplace where employees feel heard, supported, and empowered is central to who we are,” said Miriam Siegel, chief Culture and Development officer at Country Bank. “These recognitions reflect the care our teams show for one another every day and our continued commitment to providing the flexibility, resources, and culture that help employees succeed, both at work and in their personal lives.”
