Credit Union West has been recognized as a “Top Company to Work for in Arizona” by Arizona Capitol Times and BestCompaniesAZ. This marks the 12th straight year the credit union has received the prestigious award based on employee survey results. The “Top Companies” Award has recognized the state’s best employers since 2013.  

“We’re honored to have been named a ‘Top Company to Work for in Arizona’ for 12 years in row,” said Karen Roch, President and CEO of Credit Union West. “We strive to create a workplace culture that begins with empathy and support for our employees so they can provide superior service to our members. We value the important employee feedback that this survey provides and continue to adapt our employee benefits to enhance their quality of life,” Roch said. 

Employee role satisfaction was ranked highly favorable with respondents in this year’s survey results. The credit union, however, is always looking for ways to improve. As a response to last year’s survey, Credit Union West overhauled its benefits package, providing better healthcare options, more paid time off, flexible hours, and remote work options. Employees also requested access to continued education in their roles. As a result, Credit Union West provides each employee with two paid hours per week for professional development. All employees have access to a library of classes for each role, and the credit union also allows employees to use podcasts, lectures, and webinars as educational resources.

Additionally, Credit Union West has made Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) a priority throughout the organization. The credit union’s leadership team was given the opportunity to become certified in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace by the University of South Florida MUMA College of Business. Employees are also enrolled in ongoing DEIB trainings to reinforce Credit Union West’s core values.
