ELIZABETHTOWN, KY, February 02, 2009-First Federal Savings Bank has been recognized among the Commonwealth’s 2009 Best Places to Work for the fourth consecutive year.
Winners were announced by the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management State Council and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. The actual rankings will be announced at an awards dinner Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at the Lexington Convention Center in downtown Lexington.
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.
