FourLeaf Federal Credit Union Receives Gold for Workplace Culture
16th Largest Credit Union in Nation Wins Award
FourLeaf Federal Credit Union is excited to announce its recognition with a Gold award in the Magnetic Culture category at Quantum Workplace's Employee Voice Awards. This esteemed accolade is given to organizations that excel in establishing inspiring workplaces where employees feel compelled to stay and flourish in a thriving, purpose-driven environment.
Acknowledging Exceptional Employee Experiences
"Our people are what make our culture magnetic," shared President and CEO Linda Armyn. "This award reflects the passion, collaboration, and voices of our teammates, and our dedication to fostering a place where we work together, innovate together, and serve our communities together."
FourLeaf is proud to be recognized by Great Place to Work® as one of Fortune's Best Workplaces. Ranking No. 11 for midsize companies, 92% of employees have affirmatively stated that it is a great place to work, in stark contrast to the national average of 57%. Employees consistently express their appreciation for FourLeaf's unwavering commitment to professional growth, community service, and a supportive work environment.
Strategic Growth Fuels Positive Organizational Culture
This award is timely for FourLeaf as the organization continues its expansion journey. With almost 1,000 employees, the credit union is dedicated to preserving its inclusive, people-first culture even as it expands into new markets and evolves its operational strategies.
The recent rebrand marked more than just a name change. It served as a reaffirmation of FourLeaf's core identity, which is built upon five essential values: Respectful, Ethical, Inclusive, Collaborative, and Innovative. This strategic move reinforced the credit union's commitment to ensure that every employee feels purposeful, connected, and knowledgeable about their contribution toward shaping the future of FourLeaf.
“FourLeaf has built a culture where people feel seen, supported, and empowered,” remarked Cindi Fosler, Chief Customer Officer at Quantum Workplace. “What shines through are the measurable business and community outcomes that follow.”
Innovative Engagement Programs for Employees
Recognizing the value of employee feedback, FourLeaf has developed innovative engagement programs that contribute to a vibrant workplace. Initiatives such as organization-wide pulse surveys, virtual 'Water Cooler' discussions, and manager-led panels serve to enhance employee collaboration and satisfaction. The organization also supports Employee Resource Groups—including Brilliance (women's empowerment) and Multicultural Mosaic—that promote diversity and inclusion within the workplace.
Additionally, they have created opportunities for social interaction and community engagement, with events like beach volleyball, their annual pet adoption, and food drives, as well as traditional Hawaiian luaus, further strengthening team bonds.
These efforts have yielded impressive results, including:
- Retention rate has surged to 91.3% in 2024.
- Turnover rate decreased from 12.1% to 9.8%.
- Promotion rates have increased to 16.9%.
- Engagement favorability has reached 85.4%.
- Employees' likelihood of recommending FourLeaf as a workplace has risen from 86.2% to 89.0%.
Community Commitment Through the FourLeaf Cares Initiative
FourLeaf's dedication stretches beyond internal culture, evident in its FourLeaf Cares program, which actively engages employees in community upliftment efforts. Approximately $2 million has been donated to local charities, alongside hosting over 150 financial education seminars and contributing more than 4,000 volunteer hours in 2024. Celebrated events such as the FourLeaf Air Show at the beach and the annual Turkey Drive exemplify the commitment to service ingrained within the organization.
