ABERDEEN, S.D. (Dacotah Bank) –  In recognition of its dedication to employees and their families, Dacotah Bank has again been named one of the Best Banks to Work For by American Banker!

This marks the sixth consecutive year of this honor. Dacotah Bank is proud to be ranked #31 on this year’s list, marking six
consecutive years of receiving this honor. In the past three years, our rankings have been #28, #39, and #22, demonstrating our commitment to consistent excellence. Dacotah Bank strives to be one of the best banks to work for and an employer of choice throughout our territory. This recognition is a testament to our efforts to center our focus around our employees,
communities, customers, and shareholders.

“In addition to an enhanced paid parental leave program, we eliminated employee-paid premiums for medical and dental insurance employees and their families and believe these changes demonstrate our commitment to the entire Dacotah Bank family who contribute so much to the Company and the communities in which we live and work,” said Chairman and CEO
Robert Fouberg. “Creating a great workplace culture is the best way to retain and recruit employees,” said
Fouberg. We utilize teams and resources focused on attracting talent, appreciating effort, investing in people, retaining key employees, and preparing for succession. Our DacotahGrown internship program immerses young professionals in our organization’s functions, teams and culture as a foundation for success should they choose to stay with Dacotah Bank upon
graduation. Dacotah Bank’s Culture Committee focuses on employees and making Dacotah Bank an employer of choice. Our Give Where We Live program empowers our employees to make a positive impact by choosing a community organization to support. By allowing them to direct a portion of our bank’s giving, we promote community engagement and encourage
participation in causes that resonate with our employees. Dacotah Bank prioritizes employee engagement by offering various growth opportunities, including leadership and development programs for both employees and supervisors. The bank also invests in a comprehensive performance management and leadership framework to foster ongoing discussions regarding employee development and career advancement.
