Republic Bank (NASDAQ:RBCAA) has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Kentucky in the 2017 statewide competition organized by the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.

The program was developed to identify and recognize Kentucky businesses that represent the ideal workplace environment through dedication and creativity. Republic Bank was a winner in the large-sized employer category (companies of 500 or more U.S. employees).

The selection process is based on an assessment of the company’s employee policies and procedures and the results of an internal employee survey.

“I am extremely proud of Republic Bank’s designation as one of the best places to work in Kentucky,” states Republic Bank Chairman and CEO, Steve Trager. “Every success we have achieved is the result of the hard work, care and dedication of our associates and I feel extremely accountable to make sure that our success is shared with all associates in many ways that create opportunity and positive experiences for them and their families.”

The Best Places to Work in Kentucky initiative is based on FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work for in America” list. The winner rankings will be announced at an awards dinner April 26th at the Lexington Convention Center.
