FIRST METRO BANK NAMED TO NEWSWEEK’S LIST OF THE TOP 200 AMERICA’S MOST LOVED WORKPLACES FOR 2024
First Metro Bank Ranked as #152 Among 200 American Companies Recognized for Employee Sentiment and Satisfaction
New York, NY (October 2, 2024) – Newsweek Magazine published the annual America’s Top Most Loved Workplaces list, developed by Most Loved Workplace, a division of Best Practice Institute (BPI). First Metro Bank was ranked #152. This marks the fourth annual Most Loved Workplace list. This year, the list has expanded to the Top 200, reflecting companies' growing commitment to prioritizing employee sentiment and creating workplaces that employees love.
The results were determined after surveying more than 2.6 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from less than 50 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the center of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them.
“We fully believe that our employees are our greatest asset. The need for a business to have capital is crucial to success, but at First Metro Bank, we believe our human capital is the most important factor. This is a great honor and a true testament to the way we do business and value our team,” says Rodney Howard, First Metro Bank’s President and CEO.
How positive workers feel about their future at the company, career achievement, how much employer values align with employee values, respect at all levels, and the level of collaboration at the firm were the five critical areas measured to gauge employee sentiment. In addition, areas such as inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging, career development, and company leadership were identified and analyzed in relation to the five critical areas measured.

Methodology
To identify the top 200 companies in this list, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 50 percent of the initial score was based on direct employee responses to BPI's Love of Workplace Index assessment. 35 percent came from BPI's direct interviews and written responses from company officials. The final 15 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed, and Google. Newsweek then conducted editorial research on every company before the final list of 200 companies and their rankings was completed.
