ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.— PSCU has received the 2023 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA), the CUSO announced.
This award recognizes companies with the most engaged workplace cultures in the world, PSCU explained, adding the company recently was named to the Forbes list of America’s Best Midsize Employers 2023.
Gallup presented the annual award to 57 organizations, worldwide, this year.
“Receiving the 2023 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award is a tremendous honor and a testament to our employees’ hard work, engagement and embodiment of the credit union philosophy of 'people helping people,’” said Chuck Fagan, president and CEO of PSCU. “I am proud of the entire PSCU team for their contributions in making this achievement possible, as well as their commitment to advancing PSCU’s mission to empower credit unions.”
PSCU credited its “company culture of support, encouragement and success,” for the honor.
Empowered Employees
“At PSCU, our goal is to empower our employees to reach their full potential and help others around them succeed," said Lynn Heckler, EVP, chief talent officer at PSCU. "This award reflects the strength of PSCU's culture and core values, which have enabled our team members to navigate changing workplace dynamics over the past three years, including many employees transitioning to remote or hybrid roles. As PSCU continues to grow and evolve, we are excited to continue fostering a highly engaged workforce.”
“GEWA winners’ ratio of engaged employees to actively disengaged employees is 16 times higher than the international average. Highly engaged organizations significantly outperform their peers in important business outcomes, including customer ratings, profitability, productivity, turnover, safety incidents, shrinkage, absenteeism, quality, wellbeing and organizational citizenship,” the CUSO stated.
“Gallup’s 2023 GEWA winners prove that even during some of the most challenging times, strong cultures are resilient and find new ways to get work done and meet customer needs,” said Jim Harter, chief scientist of workplace management and wellbeing at Gallup. “These organizations continue to make employee engagement a central cultural priority as part of their business strategy, and they maintain record levels of employee engagement while achieving or exceeding their business goals.”
