​FRONTWAVE CREDIT UNION WINS AWARD FOR WORKPLACE EXCELLENCE FOR A SIXTH TIME

Frontwave Credit Union (Frontwave) has received the “Award for Workplace Excellence” by Peter Barron Stark Companies (PBS) based on the results of their 2018 employee opinion survey. This is the sixth time that Frontwave has won this award for Workplace Excellence. The survey, conducted at the end of 2018, measured employee engagement and job satisfaction. Frontwave’s 2018 survey had an overall satisfaction score of 89.0, a significant increase of 4.4 percentage points from the 2016 survey, and 4.1 percentage points ahead of PBS’ 2018 Best of the Best PBS Benchmark.

Frontwave results were compared to those of over 300 well-known businesses throughout the United States, and the responses of more than 100,000 employees. Frontwave had a 98% response rate from its 265 employees who answered 94 survey questions covering important topics such as clarity of purpose and goals, work environment, communication, commitment to quality and service, teamwork, motivation, development, training, compensation, and more.

Frontwave’s management team is extremely proud and humbled by these survey results and believe the most recent results accurately reflect the workplace culture. “We believe that we have alignment between our corporate values and the personal values of our Frontwave staff,” said Bill Birnie, President and CEO of Frontwave Credit Union. “We work hard every day to make financial dreams come true for our members by acting together as One Team, always keeping our core values of Passion, Innovation, and Excellence at the forefront of everything we do.”
