Capital City Bank Named Among “Best Banks to Work For” in U.S.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 31, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Banker Magazine has listed Capital City Bank among its 2015 “Best Banks to Work For.” Out of 50 banks that achieved best bank status, Capital City Bank ranked #20 overall. The 2015 edition marks the third consecutive year the 120-year-old financial institution has appeared on the list.

“Our associates are our most valuable resource. They are the foundation of what we do,” said Bill Smith, Capital City Bank Group chairman, president and CEO. “At Capital City Bank, we aspire to be more than a bank to our clients and emphasize creating positive, memorable and exceptional service experiences. Our associates make it possible to live up to this promise. I’m proud of our team of bankers and honored that Capital City Bank has been recognized in this way.”

The annual “Best Banks to Work For” list was created in 2013 by American Banker Magazine and Best Companies Group to identify, recognize and honor the best banks to work for in the nation. In addition to the established scoring system, this year’s list highlighted financial institutions that go the extra mile to foster fun, camaraderie and positivity in their workplaces.

Participating banks underwent an exhaustive evaluation of their workplace policies, practices and demographics, which was worth 25% of the total score. A second portion worth 75% of the total score consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. The combined scores determined the top banks and the final ranking.

In order to be considered for the “Best Banks to Work For” list, the firm must have at least 50 employees working in the US and be a Commercial Bank, Thrift, Mutual Association, Mutual Savings Bank, Savings and Loan Association or a Savings Bank.
