DALLAS, TX (August 27, 2013) -- Advancial Federal Credit Union’s top priority is its employees and one of the ways Advancial focuses on this is by bringing them together regularly, outside of work. This year’s summer celebrations included food, fun and employee excitement.
“It’s wonderful to see our employees come together in such creative and team-oriented summer activities,” said Brent Sheffield, President & CEO with Advancial. “Each of our regional summer events was a great way for employees to interact with their families and have a shared experience in a social environment. Advancial is proud to host such a wide array of employee events.”
Employees located in Dallas, Advancial’s city headquarters, enjoyed a Wolfgang Puck catered dinner and a private visit of the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. Since this newly opened museum is the hottest ticket in town, employees were excited to view the quad-level, ultra-modern museum with their family and co-workers in this exclusive after-hours event.
“Having the museum to ourselves made the whole experience even more enjoyable,” said Stephanie Simmons, Marketing Analyst. “My son especially enjoyed the privacy because he was able to interact with the exhibits without waiting in long lines.”
Employees from Advancial’s Alaska branches were focused on healthy and happy living when they participated in the Color RunTM 5K. The rules for the 5K are simply to “wear white at the starting line” and “finish plastered in color.” Houston-area employees arranged an outing to Main Event Entertainment for an evening of food and fun for all ages. Main Event offers indoor bowling, laser tag and even a ropes course. Advancial’s staff located in Louisiana chose to express their artistic side during an evening of Painting with a Twist®. Oklahoma employees took time to cool down from the summer heat with a fun day at White Water Bay water park.
Advancial ranks among the Best Companies to Work for in Texas by Texas Monthly because of activities like these and many others. Throughout the year employees enjoy fun company contests, opportunities to volunteer for their communities and numerous outlets for giving feedback, such as one-on-one annual meetings with the President & CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer.
