Bank of Bird-in-Hand Named as one of the Best Places to Work in PA

Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business have named Bank of Bird-in-Hand as one of the Best Places to Work in PA. The awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group.

Best Places to Work in PA identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Pennsylvania in three categories: small employer (15-99 employees), medium employer (100-249) and large employer (250 or more). To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Pennsylvania; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Pennsylvania; and be in business a minimum of one year.

Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

“The 2025 Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania have created workplaces that inspire success. They are committed to providing their employees with a positive environment which translates into excellent customer service,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business. “We are pleased to join with the Best Companies Group in honoring these inspirational businesses.”

A listing of winners is below. The final rankings will be announced at the Dec. 4 awards ceremony.

The Best Places to Work in PA winners will be recognized Dec. 4 at a celebration at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square Hotel. This year’s event theme is Rock N’ Roll. The evening features food stations, drinks and networking starting at 4:30 p.m., with the awards celebration and winner rankings at 5:30 p.m. followed by dessert and continued networking. The event hashtag is #BestPlacesPA.
