National Cooperative Bank (NCB), a leading financial institution that provides banking products and services to Southern Ohio and the nation’s cooperatives, their members and other socially responsible organizations, is pleased to announce that it has been ranked number five on the large companies list for the 2016 Best Employers in Ohio.

The annual list of the Best Employers in Ohio was created by the Ohio SHRM State Council and Best Companies Group.

This statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Ohio, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2016 Best Employers in Ohio list is made up of 39 companies.

“Being named on the Best Employers in Ohio for two years in a row is a great accomplishment for our company,” says Deb Jones, co- president, Ohio Region. “In Southern Ohio, we currently employ 129 employees, who are compassionate and dedicated to the communities we serve.”

Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Employers in Ohio which included evaluating each company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics and an employee survey to measure the employee experience. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Ohio and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final ranking.
