GREENSBORO, N.C.–– Vizo Financial Corporate Credit Union, which serves 1,100 credit unions throughout the U.S. and Canada, said it has received the 2023 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA).
The award recognizes the most engaged workplace cultures in the world, and was awarded the first time Vizo Financial applied for the recognition.
“After another year of unpredictability in the workplace, Gallup found that Vizo Financial continued to put their employees’ engagement at the center of their business strategy,” the company said.
Vizo Financial reported GEWA winners’ ratio of engaged employees to actively disengaged employees is 16 times higher than the international average.
“Worldwide, only 21% of employees are engaged — that is, committed to their work and connected to their workplace — and just 32% of employees in the U.S. workforce are engaged,” Vizo Financial said.
That number jumps to 72% of employees at winning GEWA organizations.
‘Exceptionally High’
“Gallup’s standards for entry are exceptionally high, so meeting those is a significant accomplishment,” said Joe Bertotto, Vizo Financial’s chief culture officer. “At the heart of this achievement are our employees. The way they interact with their colleagues, dedicate themselves to their work and help others achieve their goals — it all has a dramatic impact on the connection that everyone feels to the Corporate.”
‘Comprehensive’ Study
According to Vizo, Gallup’s meta-analysis on team engagement and performance is the most comprehensive workplace study ever conducted, with data on more than two million employees in 276 organizations across 54 industries and 96 countries.
The organization added that 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.
‘Great Testament’
“Winning this award is a great testament to the people that we have working at Vizo Financial,” said David Brehmer, president and chief executive officer of Vizo Financial. “From the start of the pandemic until today, our culture team has continuously and consistently found new ways to keep our employees engaged. Our employees embrace our culture, and that is truly reflected in the way we interact with each other and our members. It’s the dedication and hard work of all the employees at Vizo Financial that has led to every success we have achieved and every success we will achieve in the future.”
