ELIZABETHTOWN, KY, January 18, 2011-First Federal Savings Bank has been recognized as one of the top workplaces in the 2011 Courier-Journal Top Workplace competition and has been named as one of the Best Places to Work in Kentucky for the sixth consecutive year.
First Federal was one of only 45 workplaces in the Louisville region selected for the Courier-Journal Top Workplaces award. Winners were selected based on results of employee surveys conducted by the Courier-Journal in late 2010 and announced on Sunday, January 16th.
In an announcement today by the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management State Council and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, First Federal was chosen as one of only 39 companies across the Commonwealth to be selected in the large-sized company category in the Best Places to Work competition. The actual rankings will be announced at an awards dinner Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at the Lexington Convention Center in downtown Lexington. First Federal has placed in the top 10 of the large company category for the past four years.
The selection process, managed by Best Companies Group, is based on an assessment of the company's employee policies and procedures and the results of an internal employee survey. The program is a multi-year initiative designed to motivate companies in the Commonwealth to focus, measure and move their workplace environments toward excellence.
