Westerly, RI – August 5, 2020 - Last week, Washington Trust was named as one of Rhode Island’s Best Places to Work by Providence Business News. This marks the tenth year in a row that Washington Trust has been named to the list, which recognizes the outstanding places of employment throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
Washington Trust was named within the Enterprise Employer category of Best Places to Work; reserved for employers with 500 or more employees in the region. The selection of the Bank was based on its workplace policies and practices, as well as a survey of its employees regarding life at Washington Trust – work environment, morale, benefits, and growth opportunities.
“We are honored to once again be recognized as an employer of choice in Rhode Island,” said Edward O. Handy III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Washington Trust. “The fact that this is our tenth year in a row as one of the State’s ‘best’ employers is a testament to the hard work and consistency of our team, and our dedication to them as a Company.”
