Creating an Exceptional Workplace: How Leaders Champion New Ideas 

A credit union that’s had over a billion dollars in growth during the past decade must be doing something right. At Verve, a Credit Union, they believe the answer is in their culture — a culture that embraces employees as individuals. Verve has powerfully combined its Patch Value Declaration — a simple statement about what individual employees value and what they pride themselves in — with CliftonStrengths and employee engagement to win a Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award in 2021. Join Kevin Ralofsky, Verve President and CEO as he shares how an intentional focus on those you serve translates into an exceptional workplace.
