Greenleaf Trust is honored to be named among the top-ranked companies in Crain’s Grand Rapids Business’ 2026 Best Places to Work in West Michigan, a recognition program conducted in partnership with Workforce Research Group.

The annual award recognizes organizations that excel at creating positive workplace experiences, attracting and retaining top talent and cultivating cultures that support employee engagement and long-term success. The distinction highlights organizations that prioritize their people while fostering environments where employees can grow, contribute and thrive.

To be considered, companies participated in a comprehensive evaluation process that included both an employer assessment and an employee survey. The process examined workplace policies, benefits, professional development opportunities and employee feedback regarding culture, leadership, communication and overall job satisfaction. Final rankings were determined by the combined results of both components.

“Being recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in West Michigan is especially meaningful because it reflects the experiences and feedback of our team members,” said Karen Baldwin, Chief Human Resources Officer. “We remain committed to fostering a culture built on collaboration, trust and continuous growth while supporting our employees in meaningful ways throughout their careers.”

Crain’s Grand Rapids Business unveiled the 2026 Best Places to Work in West Michigan rankings in a special celebration on August 13.
