It’s been under 2 years since the Catalyst and Vanguard Credit Unions merged into Fusion Credit Union.
Despite being young, Fusion Credit Union has been named a Top Manitoba Employer.
Fusion CEO Ron Hedley says their goal was to be named a top employer in a couple of years, but he’s very happy with how quickly it happened.
“It’s incredible. It’s a real honour at this stage of our journey.”
Hedley goes over how they got to this point so quickly.
“The process is really just talking about us, I mean it was really just describing what we do and a little about our employees and the environment they work in, and our communities.”
That environment they have for their employees is one that’s fun, creative, and professional. Hedley adds that they know what they’re here for and that’s to serve their members.
Hedley says they like the direction the credit union is heading in and their staff shares that opinion.
“These are great people and we have had great results and we just want to continue down that path. The benefits are, that they like to come to work every day.”
Hedley says they’re constantly doing innovative things and people across the organization are always encouraged to participate.
This year, Fusion launched the Full Circle Fund, a special fund to support ambitious projects that enhance the quality of life for people of all ages in the communities served by Fusion. Recent community projects funded include the Gilbert Plains Community Hall, Whitmore School Playground in Dauphin, Foxwarren Arena, Binscarth Museum and the Oak Lake Community Hall.
