“We strive for an employee-centric workplace, and receiving this award for the fourth consecutive year demonstrates we are intentionally building a welcoming and award-winning culture at Chelsea State Bank,” said Joanne Rau, President and CEO. “We invest time and resources in ensuring our employees feel empowered to provide an elevated customer experience, while feeling appreciated.”

Chelsea State Bank also earned an Award for their Culture Excellence & Industry, which highlights the Bank’s commitment to compensation and benefits, employee well-being, and work-life flexibility, which all connect to a Financial Services Industry Top Workplace for 2026.

This list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The confidential survey measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow, and Empowered to Execute, among others.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of.”
