Glendale, AZ — Credit Union West is proud to announce that it has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2025 honor by Arizona Top Workplaces. This is the 13th consecutive year that the credit union has been named a top workplace in Arizona. This prestigious designation focuses on employee feedback regarding organizational attributes like respect, support, growth trajectory, and empowered decision-making.

Top Workplaces awards recognize organizations that excel in various areas of the employee experience. The winners are based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. This award celebrates organizations who have both embedded their mission and values into their culture and are efficient in their work to make it a reality.

In addition to the Top Workplace honor, Credit Union West was also given a Culture Excellence award. The Culture Excellence award recognizes purpose-driven organizations that take a people-first approach to their policies. The credit union received this honor for their outstanding scores in Company Purpose and Values.

“Our employees’ feedback is an invaluable resource that truly helps us shape the culture at Credit Union West,” said Karen Roch, President and CEO. “We are honored to have earned this award based on our company culture, purpose, and values.”

The credit union surpassed its employee participation goal with an exceptional response rate of 84%. Overall, Credit Union West employees gave top marks for the organization’s values, direction, and feeling like their role makes them part of something meaningful.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
