Mid Oregon Credit Union has been awarded a 2024 Top Workplaces honor by The Oregonian Top Workplaces. This is the third consecutive year the financial institution has received this award and was named among only four other small and midsize organizations east of the Cascades to be recognized.

The Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization; including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

“We are so honored to be a three-time top workplace winner,” said Kevin Cole, president and CEO. “Our team members have worked hard to build a strong culture of service at Mid Oregon that is powered by our commitment to organizational health. We know from experience that employees who are cared for, trusted, and empowered deliver the exceptional experience that our members deserve.”

Cole believes Mid Oregon Credit Union’s team is the most distinctive competitive advantage in its industry — and it backs this belief with action.

Of the 123 companies named over three size categories in Oregon and Southwest Washington, Mid Oregon was ranked number eight in the category of Midsize Employers, those with 100-500 employees. Out of those 48 companies, Mid Oregon was the top-ranking financial institution. Mid Oregon was also one of only three financial institutions to receive recognition in any size category.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” commented Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. He emphasized, “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

In addition to Mid Oregon Credit Union receiving #8 ranking in the midsize category, three small organizations in Central Oregon were also recognized as a Top Workplace for 2024: Compass Commercial Real Estate (#2), La Pine Community Health Center (#6), and Beaver Coach Sales (#35).

Mid Oregon Credit Union is a full-service, member-owned financial cooperative headquartered in and serving Central Oregonians since 1957. With over 48,000 members in Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook, Wheeler, Lake, and North Klamath Counties and over $736 million in assets, Mid Oregon partners with members to meet their financial needs and to help them achieve their dreams. Mid Oregon was named a Top Workplace in Oregon and Southwest Washington for 2022, 2023, and 2024. It was also ranked the #1 credit union in Oregon by Forbes for 2023 and 2024 and received the Bend Bulletin’s Best of the Best of Bend Community Choice Award in the credit union category for 2023 and 2024.
