Region companies named to Forbes’ list of best employers

Several Northwest and North Central Indiana companies were named to Forbes' list of America's Best Employers.

1st Source Bank ranked No. 276 out of the total 498 midsize companies that made the list.

“We at 1st Source Bank are proud to know that our employees rated us as one of America’s Best Midsize Employers for a fourth year,” said Dan Lifferth, chief human resources officer at 1st Source Bank, in a press release. “We are proud of the culture we have created to provide an engaging environment for our employees with a rewarding trajectory of growth.
