Peoples Bank recently announced it has been named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for 2026 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, based on an evaluation of publicly available data and a confidential nationwide employee survey.

The recognition highlights organizations that prioritize employee well-being, strong leadership, fair compensation and work-life balance, according to a release from the bank.

“This recognition belongs to every single person on our team,” said Tyler Wilcox, Peoples Bank president and CEO. “Three consecutive years as one of Newsweek’s Greatest Workplaces in America is a reflection of the culture we build together every day.”

Jennifer H. Cunningham, Newsweek editor-in-chief, said everybody wants to work somewhere they feel valued.

“Our newest research celebrates the companies making that a reality,” she said. “When businesses put their people first, everyone wins – employees are happier, productivity goes up and the company thrives. These rankings shine a light on the workplaces truly getting it right for their teams.”

Since 1902, Peoples Bank has grown from its Marietta, roots into a $9.6 billion diversified financial services holding company. Peoples has 127 full-service bank branches across Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.

The Peoples family of companies includes Peoples Bank, Peoples Insurance Agency and Vantage Financial.
