Staffing issues remained a chief concern for organizations of all sizes, as the "great resignation" stretches into its second year. But the honorees on this year's list of Best Credit Unions to Work For are developing programs that meet the needs of current employees and entice new generations of talent to join.
Seventy credit unions were honored this year, spanning across the U.S. and ranging in size from as small as 22 employees at PAHO/WHO Federal Credit Union in Washington, D.C., to as large as 3,258 team members at America First Credit Union in Riverdale, Utah.
Those that made the list were selected through two different surveys with the help of Best Companies Group. The first survey examines employee satisfaction and covers eight areas, including leadership and planning, corporate culture and communication and overall engagement. An institution needed at least a 40% participation rate in the survey, and on average at least 80% of respondents had to answer "agree strongly" or "agree somewhat" across the different topics.
The second survey evaluates the benefits and policies of each credit union, including deciding factors such as cost-free telehealth visits, volunteer days with local nonprofit organizations and employee appreciation events.
