The second step is an extensive survey completed by the credit union’s employees. This survey evaluates the experiences and attitudes each employee has towards their respective workplace.

The requirements to participate in this ranking include having at least 25 employees working in the U.S. and the credit union must have a minimum of 1 year in business. Best Companies Group managed the process of registration, employee survey, and finally analyzing the results and ranking.
