Windsor Family Credit Union Named One of 50 Best Workplaces in Canada

Windsor Family Credit Union (WFCU) is pleased to announce that they have been once again recognized as one of this year's 50 Best Workplaces in Canada. This list appears in a special national report on Monday, April 28, 2008 in The Globe and Mail.

"We are very pleased to once again be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Canada!" stated Marty Komsa, President & Chief Executive Officer of WFCU. "This award is very significant as it is based on direct feedback from our staff. Our staff work incredibly hard each day providing our members with exceptional service and implementing the goals of the credit union. This award is also in recognition of our comprehensive Human Resources strategy and practices. From our Member Consultants to our Senior Management, we all work as a team to make things happen at WFCU."

This list of Best Workplaces in Canada is compiled by the Great Place to Work Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria; two-thirds of the total score comes from a 57 statement survey completed by employees, along with open-ended comments; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of WFCU's culture including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a rigorous representation of WFCU from the employee perspective, and an overall portrait of its workplace culture. Together they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.

More than 24,000 employees participated in the survey. Information in the survey can be found at bestworkplaces@greatplacetowork.ca.

WFCU is a financial co-operative owned, directed and controlled by its members. All money deposited is invested as loans to members and stays in its community.
