United Federal Credit Union (United) has once again been ranked in\u00a0the Top 100 Workplaces in North America by Inspiring Workplaces Group<\/a>, in association with Engagedly, marking the third consecutive year the credit union has earned this prestigious recognition.<\/p>\n

This continued recognition underscores United\u2019s unwavering commitment to building a people-first culture and further solidifies its position as a leader among workplaces across the continent.<\/p>\n

In addition to securing a spot in the top 40 overall rankings, United was recognized for best-in class certificates for inspiring leadership and inspiring inclusion and belonging.<\/p>\n

Unlike other awards that rely on survey results alone, entrants to the Inspiring Workplaces Awards are required to demonstrate measurable investment in their people. Submissions are evaluated based on six key elements that the IW Group identifies as fundamental to creating a PeopleFirst culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing named an Inspiring Workplace for the third consecutive year reinforces what makes United special: our people and the culture we\u2019ve built together,\u201d said United President and CEO Terry O\u2019Rourke. \u201cAt United, our people aren\u2019t just part of our success, they are the driving force behind it. Team United lives our \u2018people helping people\u2019 mission every day, supporting one another, our members, and our communities in meaningful ways. This recognition speaks to the culture they\u2019ve built together and the pride they take in making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

An independent judge noted that by United \u201cinvesting intentional in leadership growth, the company reinforces a culture where development, accountability, and long-term success are shared priorities. Equally notable is the organization\u2019s focus on employee wellbeing,\u201d reinforcing the organization\u2019s sustained excellence in employee experience.<\/p>\n

According to Inspiring Workplaces Group, the 2026 winners represent the very best of what PeopleFirst cultures can achieve in a complex and rapidly evolving world of work.<\/p>\n

Matt Manners, Founder, Inspiring Workplaces Group, commented, \u201cOur 2026 winners across North American are leading by example. They are proving that when businesses put PeopleFirst and build cultures based on trust, inclusion and belonging, they create the resilience and agility needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving world of work.\u201d<\/p>\n
