Taunton, MA — The Boston Business Journal has named Mechanics Cooperative Bank to its 2024 Best Places to Work — the BBJ’s exclusive ranking of the Massachusetts companies that have built outstanding work environments for their people.
The 80 companies honored in 2024 range in size and industry, with winners from the financial sector, technology, retail, health care, commercial real estate and more.
Joseph T. Baptista Jr., President and CEO of Mechanics Cooperative Bank, stated “At Mechanics Cooperative Bank, we believe that our success lies in the strength and engagement of our team. We have worked diligently to create an inclusive, collaborative, and supportive workplace that promotes employee well-being and personal growth. This recognition validates our efforts and inspires us to continue investing in our employees’ success. We are proud to be named one of Boston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in Boston.”
“The companies that comprise this year’s Best Places to Work are among the most diverse in the decades we’ve been doing this program,” said Carolyn Jones, Market President and Publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “Their commitment to teamwork, employee engagement, flexibility and trust are the model to which the region’s businesses look for inspiration.”
The 260 businesses that met criteria for office location and size participated in employee-engagement surveys distributed by Business Journal partner Quantum Workplace. Employees were asked to rate their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits.
Based on the results of those surveys, businesses were assigned a score out of 100 percent and ranked by Quantum. The top-rated companies are listed in five size categories — extra small (20 to 49 employees), small (50 to 99 employees), medium (100 to 249 employees), large (250 to 499 employees) and extra-large (500 or more).
The Boston Business Journal is the region’s premier business media organization, one of 44 markets owned by American City Business Journals.
