AMERANT BANK EARNS SPOT ON NEWSWEEK'S 2024 LIST OF AMERICA'S MOST LOVED WORKPLACES FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Miami, FL, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newsweek recently announced their annual rankings of 2024 America’s Top Most Loved Workplace®, and Amerant Bank is now ranked No. 41, up seven spots from the previous year. The 2024 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® are the result of a collaboration between Newsweek and the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company.

BPI’s results were determined after surveying over 2.6 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that have created a workplace where employees feel respected, inspired, and appreciated and are at the center of the business model.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized again this year as a Most Loved Workplace,” said Jerry Plush, Chairman and CEO of Amerant Bank. “This acknowledgement is a testament to the steady commitment and passion our team members bring to each other, our customers, and the success of our organization. Their dedication is the foundation of our strong workplace culture. We are truly grateful for their continued contributions.”

The key areas in the analysis to identify the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces are based on how well companies demonstrate the areas within the Spark Model as defined by BPI, including Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision of the Future, Alignment of values, Respect, and Achievement. The analysis further measures employees’ engagement, how positive they feel about their workplace, as well as how committed they are to the organization’s success.

“With the dynamic workforce and competition for top talent, more companies are recognizing the importance of employee engagement and commitment,” said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek. “The workplaces that have demonstrated a commitment to their employees in 2024 are more likely to attract top talent and deliver strong business outcomes.” 

"Attracting and retaining top talent continues to be a challenge and top priority of executive leadership,” said Louis Carter, CEO, Best Practice Institute. “The companies on this list have committed to listening intently to their employees and then creating a better workplace where employees love to come to work.”

Methodology
To identify the top 100 companies for the Newsweek ranking, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 35 percent of the initial score was based on employee survey responses; 25 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google; and 40 percent came from direct interviews with and written responses from company officials. Newsweek then conducted additional research into every company on the list, as well as the top runners-up, to determine the final list of 100 companies and their ranking. (The list includes both U.S. firms and companies with a strong U.S. presence that are based overseas.)
