Credit Union membership enhances employee benefits. (An Advertising Supplement: Staffing & Employee Benefits).In uncertain economic times many companies struggle with the ability to maintain employee benefits without affecting the bottomline. Rising healthcare costs often force many employers to pass along a higher share of the burden to their workers, while other benefits like 401(k) plans simply limp LIMP - ["Messages in Typed Languages", J.

See Usage Note at its. it's it is or it has it's be ~have controlling costs or increasing perceived value, you and your company are under daily pressure to create a complete benefits package that attracts and retains good employees. Now more than ever, employees will depend on you for solutions and benefits that add value to their lives and their employment with you. What can you do? Consider offering your employees a benefit that everyone can take advantage of at absolutely no cost to you: Credit Union membership. While more and more companies today include Credit Union membership as a part of their benefits package because it's free for them, the real benefit is the high-perceived value in the minds of employees. It all starts with "people helping people," the core value that separates a Credit Union from a bank. At a typical bank, revenue generated from customers is returned to a few minority stockholders who own the bank. Credit Unions, on the other hand; are owned by their customers, or member/owners as they are called. That means, any profits are returned directly to everyone in the form of lower loan rates and higher savings yields. It's a no-cost benefit to you that provides your employees with a low-cost alternative to the big banks. And in good economic times or bad, that's a benefit everyone can feel good about. More than just adding to the list of your existing benefits package, Credit Union membership can help you add real value to the financial well being of your employees, making them happier and more productive.

Because Credit Unions exist for the sole benefit of their member/owners and not anonymous stockholders, your employees may notice some other less tangible, yet equally as important benefits. For example, it's no secret that some banks charge for phone calls or simply stepping inside the branch. Not so at today's Credit Unions, where exceptional service is designed to exceed member expectations at every point of contact from toll-free telephone service to 24-hour online banking and thousands of surcharge-FREE ATMs. Sophisticated as any bank, a Credit Union is uniquely poised to meet the demands of today's savvy financial consumer by pooling resources to create a network of shared branches and ATMs. Once available only for large corporations, Credit Union membership is now quickly becoming a benefit of choice for small and medium-size Adj. 1. medium-size - intermediate in size medium-sized, moderate-size, moderate-sized sized - having a specified size companies, completing the employee benefits package with absolutely no change to the bottom line.

It's a unique approach to the specific needs of your company and how you operate. From lunchtime seminars to individual visits by Credit Union representatives, Credit Unions can craft a plan to add value to the lives of your employees in a manner that fits with your operational structure. If your company is searching for affordable ways to enhance your employee benefits package, Credit Union membership offers key advantages over other options you may be considering. First, it won't cost you a thing to participate. Second, Credit Unions offer your employees a great value on services they already need and use. Giving them access to financial tools that add value to their lives at home and at work simply makes good business sense. The result is retaining valuable employees through a more comprehensive benefits package you can implement immediately at no charge to you.
