Mattoon, IL (August 7, 2025) First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (First Mid) is proud to announce it has been named a Top Workplaces award recipient in the Financial Services Industry for the third year in a row by Energage, a purpose-drive organization that develops solutions to build and brand Top Workplaces.
Through a confidential survey, Energage measures key culture drivers including alignment, connection, engagement, and leadership. Receiving this recognition year after year highlights First Mid’s continued focus on creating an environment where employees feel engaged, valued, and empowered to grow.
“Being named a Top Workplace is an honor, but it’s the voices behind the award that matter most,” said Joe Dively, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at First Mid. “Because the award is based entirely on employee feedback, it reflects the strength of our culture—the way our team supports one another, aligns with our vision and values, and works together to advance our mission. This recognition is a testament to how our team shows up every day for each other and for our customers.”
In addition to the industry award, First Mid has also been named a Top Workplaces USA winner twice and has earned two Greater St. Louis Workplaces honors, reinforcing the company’s consistent dedication to fostering a positive, people-first workplace across its footprint. “Sustained recognition like this doesn’t come from a single initiative,” added Dively. “It’s the result of strong teamwork and a culture of collaboration that enables people to do their best.”
