Specifically, the Globe's 2012 Top Places to Work magazine insert ranked the Bank as the 7th best workplace in the "Large Employers" category based on surveys of employees. The surveys rated employers on workplace practices in leadership, management, compensation and training, appreciation, career opportunities, workforce flexibility and diversity.
 Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro has been included on The Leapfrog Group's annual list of top hospitals. Sturdy Memorial was selected as a top hospital out of nearly 1,200 hospitals participating in The Leapfrog Group's annual survey which measures hospitals' performance on patient safety and quality, focusing on three critical areas of hospital care: how patients fare, resource use, and management structures in place to prevent errors.
