ALEXANDRIA, Va.—NCUA has been named a “Best Place to Work” in the Partnership for Public Service’s latest Best Places to Work in the Federal Government report.
NCUA rose this year to seventh, from ninth in 2013, among mid-sized federal agencies—those with between 1,000 and 14,999 employees. The agency stated it improved its scores in nearly every report category.
NCUA pointed out that while scores in this year’s survey declined government-wide, NCUA’s employee satisfaction score rose to 69.4% from 65.8% last year. The share of workers saying the agency had effective leadership rose to 62.6% from 61.2%.
“Public service is an important and honorable calling, and our staff work hard every day to ensure that no depositor ever loses a dime of insured deposits in a federally insured credit union,” NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said. “A high-quality workplace promotes loyalty, longevity and better service to stakeholders. The increase in employee satisfaction reflects our ongoing commitment to making this agency an employer of choice. We again achieved high rankings among a diverse group of employees, and we ranked first among African-Americans in agencies our size. These results are very satisfying, but we also maintain our commitment to continually improve.”
The 2014 report found that NCUA, compared to other mid-sized agencies:
- Ranked first among African-American employees
- Ranked third among veterans
- Ranked fourth among Asians, men and employees above 40 years old
- Ranked fifth among Hispanics, Whites and employees with disabilities
- Ranked sixth among women.
Earlier this year, NCUA achieved the second-largest year-over-year improvement in the Global Satisfaction Index of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, which the Partnership for Public Service used to compile the Best Places to Work rankings.
