St. Louis, MO (June 23, 2025) First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (First Mid) is proud to announce it has been named a Greater St. Louis Top Workplace for the second year in a row by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This esteemed recognition is based entirely on employee feedback gathered through a third party survey administered by Energage, which measures workplace culture drivers such as alignment, execution, and connection.
The Top Workplaces award highlights companies in the Greater St. Louis region that foster a people-first workplace culture and prioritize employee satisfaction and engagement. To qualify, companies must have a significant presence in the region, employ a minimum number of employees, and meet an employee response rate to the survey. The survey responses are then evaluated, and the winners are determined based on the feedback. The anonymous survey not only evaluates engagement but also offers insights into how organizations can continuously improve.
“Our employees are the foundation of our success,” said Joe Dively, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at First Mid. “This recognition reflects the culture we’ve built—one that values engagement, growth, and well-being. Being named a Greater St. Louis Top Workplace for the second consecutive year is a significant recognition of our strong culture and the dedication of our employees. We’re proud to be part of the Greater St. Louis community. The region has played a meaningful role in our company’s success, and we’re committed to giving back by investing in its growth and supporting the people and businesses that make it thrive.”
Earlier this year, First Mid received a second consecutive Top Workplaces USA 2025 award. In addition, First Mid again earned a Top Workplaces Culture Excellence award for Work-Life Flexibility, which celebrates organizations that provide options to their employees in how and where they work, as well as having managers who care for their employees’ concerns.
First Mid continues to invest in professional development opportunities, prioritize employee wellness, and enhance workplace flexibility—all while maintaining strong business performance and community impact.
