by Chelsea Springli Wentzville, MO (July 23, 2019) – 1st Financial Federal Credit Union, a not for profit community development financial institution serving people throughout St. Louis and St. Charles County, was recently awarded a 2019 Top Workplaces honor by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Top Workplaces winners are picked based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey measuring several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few. The just over 100 employees of 1st Financial chose the credit union as a top workplace, citing a higher sense of purpose and integrity in the work they do, as a primary reason.
Carol Minges, 1st Financial CEO said, “Our employees are the key reason for our success. I’m grateful to work with such a passionate team of employees who believe in our vision to help our members achieve their financial dreams.”
On top of being a member-owned financial cooperative which exists to serve their community, 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. Plus, a paid birthday holiday, wellness program, gym membership subsidy, tuition reimbursement, employee assistance program, employee loan program, paid time off to volunteer in the community each month, and development opportunities.
“Top Workplaces put the employee at the center of things and focuses on creating the right environment to unleash potential and inspire performance,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage, the Post-Dispatch’s research partner for Top Workplaces.
