Kinecta Federal Credit Union today announced that it is Great Place to Work-Certified™. Great Place to Work (GPW) is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors proven to deliver market- leading revenue and increased innovation. Through GPW Certification programs, outstanding workplaces are recognized and Fortune’s annual “100 Best Companies to Work For” list is created, as well as numerous “Best Workplace” rankings throughout the United States and more than 60 other countries. To reach GPW certification, anonymous employee feedback was gathered, and a rigorous, data-driven methodology proved 7 out of 10 employees consistently have a positive experience at Kinecta.
“We are thrilled to be Great Place to Work-Certified™,” says Kim Graham, Kinecta’s vice president of Human Resources and Talent Management. “We make employee engagement a priority every day and are proud that our employees have reported a consistently positive experience with their coworkers, their leaders, and their jobs. This is important to us. When our employees have a consistent high-trust experience, they are more productive, drive better
business results, and make a difference to our members.”
“We congratulate Kinecta on their Certification,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Best Workplace List Research at Great Place to Work. “Organizations that earn their employees’ trust create great workplace cultures that deliver outstanding business results.”
Of all the unique aspects of Kinecta’s culture, the survey showed that areas of strength were: “community,” “feels like family,” “flexibility,” “benefits,” “CEO,” and “pride”. The survey also showed that Kinecta’s employee-driven volunteerism is appreciated. Kinecta employees can elevate a personal commitment to a cause so that the entire organization can learn about it, rally, and participate, with financial, programmatic, and moral support from Kinecta. Passionate employees consistently spearhead events throughout the community, including financial empowerment classes. In 2018, Team Kinecta volunteered more than 7,500 hours of their time at more than 150 community events, serving more than 200 nonprofits.
