Northwest Bank Earns Top Workplaces Honor by The Great Plains Top Workplaces

January 16, 2026 – Northwest Bank located in Omaha and La Vista, Nebraska is proud to announce that it has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by The Great Plains Top Workplaces 2026 for a second year in a row. The Great Plains Top Workplaces award program, powered by Energage, recognizes outstanding employers in the Great Plains region which includes Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Kansas.

We’re honored, especially because the judges were our employees.

The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow, and Empowered to Execute, to name a few.

“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. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

Joe Conover, President of Northwest Bank, shared, “Being named a Great Plains Top Workplace in Nebraska is a meaningful achievement for Northwest Bank. This honor is a direct reflection of the commitment, passion, and teamwork our employees bring to their roles each day. Our success starts with our people, and we are intentional about creating an environment that encourages professional growth, fresh ideas, and strong collaboration.
