We are committed to building a more positive culture by connecting our network of employees through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). These groups provide a platform for employees to build relationships, offer feedback, and support each other through shared experiences and interests.  
 
Our ERGs serve as a catalyst for a supportive work environment and as an avenue of communication between ERG members and senior leadership and executives. Our ERGs are also led, developed, and maintained by employee volunteers, so it’s important for us to invest in the futures of these employees the same way they are investing in ours. Our ERG leaders have access to mentorship opportunities, leadership training alongside senior leaders, and invitations to industry conferences.

At Empower FCU, we are committed to nurturing positive, productive environments for employees and the members we serve. These environments foster connection, create spaces for people to be empowered, and allow individuals to participate to their full potential. We celebrate and support what makes our employees and members unique—and what helps them be their best. Collectively, these actions and attitudes reinforce respect, integrity, and fairness within our community.
