Comment from the judges

I really enjoyed reading United Federal Credit Union’s nomination. What truly stood out was their commitment to giving employees a front-end voice in decisions and changes that impact them. Many organizations have employee voice systems in place, but United Federal Credit Union goes a step further by actively involving employees before changes happen and then providing an opportunity to continue the dialogue after decisions are made.

Most impressive is how they’ve maintained their commitment to people-first practices while achieving their financial targets in challenging economic conditions.
