Virginia Beach, VA (May 28, 2026) |
Chartway Credit Union is pleased to announce it is a 2026 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence and Industry Award winner for Innovation, Work-Life Flexibility, Leadership, Purpose & Values, Professional Development, Employee Well-being, Employee Appreciation, and Financial Services—several of which are multi-year awards. The Top Workplaces program by Energage—an organization that develops solutions to build and brand Top Workplaces—has a 19-year history of surveying and celebrating people-first organizations nationally and across 60 regional markets.
“At Chartway we have team members, not employees and they bring our purpose & values to life each day as they serve our members and communities. We’re grateful for the candid feedback they share through these surveys,” said Rebecca Riordan, chief people and culture officer at Chartway Credit Union. “It helps us grow and ensures we stay true to who we are. Recognition like this, especially when it’s sustained over time, means that much more. We appreciate Energage, and we’re incredibly thankful for our team members and all they do to serve our members and each other.”
“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.”
