Denver, CO – January 13, 2026
Fortis Bank is proud to announce that it has once again been officially certified as a Great Place To Work®, marking the second time the organization has earned this distinction based entirely on employee feedback. This year, 83% of employees stated that Fortis Bank is a great place to work, which is 26 points higher than the average U.S. company1.
Great Place To Work® Certification™ is awarded to organizations that meet rigorous standards for trust, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie, as measured through confidential employee surveys. This distinction places Fortis Bank among organizations nationwide that are recognized for fostering strong workplace cultures where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects sustained trust and engagement over time and is driven directly by the voices of our people,” said Laura Hildreth, Executive Vice President and Chief Experience Officer. “While this is only the second time we have formally participated in this certification survey program, listening to our people is something we do continuously, and this certification again affirms that our commitment to our people is both intentional and enduring.”
The certification reflects Fortis Bank’s ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive, engaging, and people-first workplace culture. It validates that it is a workplace where people are respected, challenged, and inspired, and where its values are lived, not just stated.
