Virginia’s Credit Unions Continue to Be THE Place to Work
Credit unions across the country are frequently lauded as exemplary workplaces. Virginia’s credit unions, in particular, are prominent on these lists, showcasing their dedication to employee satisfaction and organizational excellence.
At the heart of credit union success is a culture that deeply values the voices and contributions of its employees, offering competitive rewards, meaningful work, and a steadfast commitment to personal and professional growth.
Rebecca Riordan from Chartway Credit Union articulates this ethos best: "We are tremendously proud of awards like this, but what gives them true meaning are the team members who take the time to share their thoughts. Our teams do the work daily to serve our members and communities. That kind of truth and dedication to our organization gives awards like this a purpose. A big thanks to our team members for everything they do."
It's this employee-first philosophy that translates into an array of special benefits for those who work at credit unions. From Flexible Spending Accounts that assist with healthcare and dependent care expenses to comprehensive Wellness Programs that cover a wide range of health and lifestyle needs—including gym memberships, weight loss programs, and even pet adoption—credit unions go above and beyond. Educational support is also a cornerstone, with Tuition Assistance and Student Loan Repayment programs in place, ensuring that personal and professional development is always within reach for their team members.
Jeff Bentley, President and CEO of Northwest Federal Credit Union, shares his thoughts on their repeated recognition: "We are honored to receive the Top Workplace award for the fourth consecutive year. This recognition is a testament to our exceptional team at Northwest Federal Credit Union, whose dedication and hard work have truly made a difference. We prioritize our employees, offering them the tools and opportunities they need to thrive in their careers. From our robust employee recognition program to comprehensive career development paths and a variety of training courses, including our leadership academy and member experience-focused programs, we are committed to fostering a positive and rewarding work environment. Our employees also embody our values outside of work, contributing their time and passion to meaningful causes through our paid volunteer program. This award, based on employee feedback, reaffirms that our efforts to prioritize and support our team are making a real impact. We are proud to be recognized as a top workplace where every team member feels valued, appreciated, and empowered."
