Newburyport, MA -- Institution for Savings, a $5.5 billion community bank headquartered in Newburyport, has been named one of The Boston Globe’s 2025 Top Places to Work in Massachusetts.
The Bank is one of only two companies to have made the top list for 18 straight years and ranked 19th in the medium category for 2025.
Top Places to Work recognizes the most admired workplaces in the state voted on by the people who know them best—their employees. The survey measures employee opinions about their company’s direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay, benefits, and engagement. The employers are placed into one of four groups: small, with 50 to 99 employees; medium, with 100 to 249 workers; large, with 250 to 999 staff members; and largest, with a workforce of 1,000 or more employees.
“I have long said that it is the employees who make this Bank,” said Institution for Savings president and CEO Michael Jones. “Our employees bring our vision and values to life every day, and their commitment to serving our customers and communities is what makes Institution for Savings such a special place to work."
“The best employers pay attention to the many ways work changes – and the many ways it stays the same – and figure out how to keep people engaged and motivated through it all,” said Katie Johnston, the Globe’s Top Places to Work editor.
The rankings in Top Places to Work are based on confidential survey information collected by Energage, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from nearly 68,000 employees at 323 Massachusetts organizations. Access The Boston Globe's 2025 Top Places to Work list.
