July 5, 2017
St. Louis, MO (June 27, 2017) – 1st Financial Federal Credit Union has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Post-Dispatch’s Top Workplaces list recognizes the most progressive companies in the greater St. Louis area based on employee opinions about company leadership, career opportunities, workplace flexibility, compensation and benefits. The analysis included responses from over 35,000 employees at St. Louis public, private and nonprofit organizations.
The employee feedback surveys are administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics, “To be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day — the employees.”
Carol Minges, 1st Financial CEO said, “I’m thankful that we have such a highly passionate team of people at 1st Financial. Our vision is to grow by providing the best member and employee experience in the communities we serve. A key component of that vision is having the best employee experience. We’re happy that our employees think that we’re on the right track.”
1st Financial provides a competitive employee benefits package including health insurance, employer-paid life insurance, retirement savings 401(k) with employer match, paid vacation, and 10 paid holidays. Employees also get to take advantage of a paid birthday holiday, year-round wellness program, gym membership subsidy, tuition reimbursement, an employee assistance program, employee loan program, and paid time off to volunteer in the communities that we serve.
