Putting people first is deeply ingrained in the credit union ethos. Given that more workers say they are struggling (49%) than say they are thriving (46%), putting people first includes caring about employee well-being.1
Focusing on employee well-being is important for recruiting and retaining talent2 and can boost credit union performance; workers who are thriving are less likely to miss work because of illness and to be looking for a new job.3
Healthy and happy employees have a better quality of life, a lower risk of disease and injury, increased work productivity, and a greater likelihood of contributing to their communities than employees with poorer well-being.4
