CUNA has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2020 honor by The Wisconsin State Journal. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Wisconsin State Journal as a Top Workplace for 2020, as we work every day to be more authentic, accountable, collaborative and passionate, values we believe create a culture that lets us do our best for our members every day,” said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle. “This recognition creates a benchmark for our standards that we’ll measure ourselves by going forward.”

More than 750 local Madison-area companies participated in the anonymous survey, which uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

“For more than a decade, the Top Workplaces award has helped organizations stand out among their competitors to attract talent,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “This differentiation is more important than ever in today’s tight labor market. Establishing a continuous conversation with employees so you have a deep understanding of your unique culture is proven to help achieve higher referral rates, lower employee turnover, and double the employee engagement levels. No longer is recognition simply a much-deserved cause for celebration, but it’s fast becoming mission-critical to establish a competitive advantage for recruitment and retention.”
