INDIANAPOLIS– Financial Center Credit Union has been named as one of the 2024 Best Places to Work in Indiana.
The accolade, awarded by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, “displays the Credit Union’s commitment to not only being an exceptional place to bank, but also an exceptional place to work,” the CU said.
The credit union said that for the nearly 200 team members of the Indianapolis-based Credit Union, their employee experience is centered around three key principles instilled by its president and CEO, Cam Minges – fulfillment, belonging, and happiness.
“When these three basic principles are met, then the vibrant culture that we’re working to build simply creates itself,” Minges said.
With employees spending a great amount of their waking hours at work, the credit union said Minges and the executive team have invested significant energy and resources in building a values-based culture.
After establishing the core values of caring, listening, learning, solving, and acting, there has been a focused internal effort encouraging employees to not only deliver on these values to the nearly 70,000 members of the credit union – but to their coworkers, too, it added.
“Our recognition as one of Indiana’s best places to work directly reflects that the values we created are being put to work by prioritizing the employee experience, which translates into unparalleled service to our members.” said Minges.
AddedFrances Tooley, SVP-employee operations, “We’ve seen incredible engagement and growth in bringing our values to life. For instance, our employees chose to give public praise to one another for going above and beyond more than 600 times last year through our new employee feedback tool.”
The CU further noted it has worked to improve benefits that matter most to its employees, including improving its 401(k) match, offering paid volunteer time off, paid professional development training and tuition reimbursement, and supporting hybrid work arrangements which have led to cultural growth and excitement for what’s ahead.
“These values are not just words on a wall; they are the living, breathing essence of who we are and how we work. They serve as guideposts in every decision we make,” Minges stated. “I humbly thank our employees who have the courage to tell us every day what we need to do to provide them with the tools, resources, and cultural environment that keeps them passionate about what they do, where they work, and how we serve members.”
