First Mid Earns Second Consecutive Top Workplaces Industry Award

Mattoon, IL (July 30, 2024) First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (First Mid) is proud to announce it has been named a Top Workplaces Industry Award recipient for the second consecutive year. This honor, awarded by Energage, underscores the company's commitment to fostering a positive, dynamic, and inclusive workplace culture.

Energage's confidential, research-backed employee engagement survey determines the Top Workplaces awards. Participating companies are measured against the industry's most comprehensive benchmarks, built upon 18 years of culture research spanning millions of employees and thousands of organizations nationwide.

This consecutive win is a testament to First Mid's dedication to its employees' well-being, development, and satisfaction.

"Receiving this honor for the second year in a row is a direct reflection of our team's hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating an environment where employees feel valued and empowered to succeed," said Joe Dively, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at First Mid. "Our people are the cornerstone of our company, and we are committed to continuing to invest in their growth and fulfillment.
