Sky Federal Credit Union Supports Employees' Financial Fitness

Sky FCU has fully embraced financial fitness as part of its employee wellness program. As of August, all credit union staff members are working through the 8 Pillars of Financial Greatness program. This is quite a commitment and investment of staff time -- not only did all staff attend an introductory training (provided by MCUN's Nolan Glueckert), but everyone is also required to attend an hour-long webinar on each of the pillars over eight weeks. But, CEO Annamarie DeYoung says it's well worth it and they "jumped at" the opportunity. "We've recognized that just because someone works at a financial, they're not necessarily financially fit.... our staff is enthused and grateful." In fact, Anna notes, "the enthusiasm from staff is so contagious that we plan on making 8 Pillars available to our membership shortly after we've completed the program."
