Dogwood State Bank has been named a Best Employer in North Carolina for 2023 by Business North Carolina.

According to the website, Business North Carolina’s annual list of Best Employers highlights companies that rank highly in their efforts to motivate teammates and draw strong employees. The program recognizes the state’s best places to work with a unique awards program for small, medium and large companies that are taking steps to build positive, enduring cultures. 

Falling under the “Large Employers” category employing between 76 and 299 people, Dogwood State Bank was given recognition for its more than 200 years of banking experience, its $1 billion in assets, its growth in recent years and more. 

The company acknowledged the recognition in a post on LinkedIn stating: 

“Dogwood State Bank is proud to share that we have been named a Best Employer in North Carolina for 2023 by Business North Carolina!

This prestigious recognition represents the unique culture built by our wonderful community. Over the past four years, we have built a solid team where love, respect, and superior service drive our momentum. Our team is the secret to our success and makes Dogwood State Bank an incredible place to be!” 

In Feb. 2022, Dogwood State Bank expanded into Fayetteville, opening a full service banking location in downtown Fayetteville in the former Systel building. 

Dogwood State Bank and the other companies that made the list will be honored during a June 22 dinner and awards ceremony at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro.
