Byline Bank named 2024 Best Workplace in Illinois and Chicago

Chicago Sun-Times has named Byline Bank one of Chicago’s Best Workplaces for 2024, ranking it among the top 25 workplaces in the city and sixth among large companies.

Byline Bank also was recently named one of the 2024 Best Workplaces in Illinois by Best Companies Group and the Illinois Society for Human Resource Management.

“It’s an honor to have Byline Bank recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in Chicago and Illinois, especially because employee feedback was a significant factor in both award wins,” Byline Bank Chief Human Resources Officer Dana Rose said. “At Byline, we take pride in fostering a collaborative and welcoming workplace culture where employees at all levels can have a hand in shaping our growing organization.”

Chicago’s Best Workplaces is an annual program created by Chicago Sun-Times and Best Companies Group to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in Chicago, benefiting the area's economy, workforce and businesses. Best Companies Group partners with the Illinois Society for Human Resource Management to identify top employers statewide for the annual Best Workplaces in Illinois program.

Companies from across Chicago and Illinois entered a two-part survey process to determine honorees for both lists. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics — worth about 25% of the total evaluation.

The second part involved an employee survey to measure the employee experience — worth about 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and determined the final rankings.
