Access Credit Union was named one of Manitoba’s top employers thanks to a selection process done by Mediacorp. Canada Inc.

Judges highlighted the full suite of financial benefits including a defined contribution pension plan, year-end bonuses, and preferred mortgage and loan rates as reasons for the decision.

Thanks to multiple mergers over the years, Access Credit Union is the largest credit union in Manitoba and the sixth largest in Canada, with more than 60 branches, more than 203,000 members, more than 925 employees and $12.3 billion in balance sheet assets.

Manitoba employers were ranked in the same way as those chosen by editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. Judges looked at workplace, work atmosphere and social, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development and community involvement. They are compared to other organizations in their field.

All employers with a head office or principal place of business in Manitoba may apply for the competition.

Several credit unions were among those awarded. In addition to Access, Assiniboine, Fusion, and Westoba Credit Unions won similar recognition.
