MADISON, Wis.—Summit Credit Union has been named to Madison Magazine’s Best Places to Work list for 2019. The annual list honors Madison companies where employees feel they work at a great place.
“This honor is a testament to the people who make Summit such a special place to work,” said Summit CEO & President Kim Sponem. “Each of us works to create an environment we want to work in. We all build a culture of support, inclusion and growth driven by our shared commitment to our members’ financial wellness.”
Nominated organizations are judged using a company-wide survey measuring employees’ engagement and satisfaction with their overall work experience. Survey categories include communication and engagement, trust in management and leadership, team dynamics and more.
