Investar Bank named as one of the 2015 Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge, October 19, 2015 - Investar Bank was recently named as one of the 2015 Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge. The awards program is a project of the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report, the Greater Baton Rouge SHRM, an affiliate of the Society for Human Resource Management and Best Companies Group.
This survey and awards program was created in 2014 to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Baton Rouge, benefiting its economy, its workforce and businesses.
"Investar Bank is committed to our employees and strives to be the employer of choice," stated Investar Bank's Baton Rouge Regional President and EVP, Holly Hidalgo-Dekeyzer. "We are honored to have been recognized amongst this elite group of employers."
Companies from across the region entered the two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge. The first part consisted of evaluating each company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Baton Rouge and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
The 2015 list of Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge appears in the October 13th issue of Business Report and all of the companies were honored at a breakfast held on October 14th as part of the Louisiana Business Symposium.
Investar Bank had total assets of $921.9 million as of June 30, 2015.
