Innovative programs and emphasis on employee engagement help Meridian Credit Union secure a spot as one of Hamilton-Niagara’s 2011 Top Employers

St. Catharines — For the third year in a row Meridian Credit Union has made MediaCorp’s Hamilton-Niagara Top Employers list, Sean Jackson, President and CEO of Meridian Credit Union announced today.

“This year we continued to challenge ourselves to do more as an employer. We have seen the results of this throughout the company. We are proud of our employees and proud of the service they provide to our Members,” said Jackson

Now entering its 4th year, Hamilton-Niagara’s Top Employers list recognizes Hamilton-Niagara’s best places to work by identifying companies and organizations that lead their industry in attracting and retaining employees. A full list of each winner is available in today’s Hamilton Spectator.

Since earning its first spot on the list in 2009, Meridian Credit Union has strengthened its sales and service capabilities, continued to challenge and engage its employees and provide innovative programs and benefits.

This year, Meridian added new benefits such as the Best Doctors program. This program gives employees access to a Member Advocate, who will work with employees’ doctors to ensure each employee receives the best treatment: including, second opinions and access to more than 50,000 specialists.

Meridian also continued to emphasize employee engagement, challenging managers to provide valuable feedback and engagement for each and every employee. The success of these efforts was recognized earlier this year when it was nominated as one of 50 Most Engaged Workplaces by I Love Rewards.

But, above all, Jackson believes it is the unique culture that comes from being part of a cooperative business that is to thank for Meridian’s success. As he explains, “Our culture at Meridian is truly unique; it is through great leadership, passion and teamwork of the talented people at Meridian that we are achieving our vision and creating a wonderful place to do business for our Members.”
