Cardinal Credit Union Recognized as a Top Workplace in Northeast Ohio for 2025

Cardinal Credit Union Acknowledged for Employee Excellence

On June 30, 2025, Cardinal Credit Union, known for being the official financial partner of the Cleveland Browns, proudly received the Top Workplaces 2025 award from Northeast Ohio's Top Workplaces. This esteemed recognition is awarded to organizations that prioritize a culture focused on their employees’ well-being, engagement, and personal growth, underscoring Cardinal's commitment to its workforce and the community it serves.

The accolade places Cardinal Credit Union among 114 other Northeast Ohio businesses that employ 150 or fewer individuals. The selection process is based entirely on feedback from employees who participated in a confidential survey conducted by Energage, LLC, a third-party firm specializing in employee engagement assessments. This survey measures various aspects of employee experience to determine workplace culture, including themes such as respect, support, and empowerment in their roles.

At Cardinal, the standard for success intertwines employee satisfaction with member service. The institution is characterized by its deep dedication to fostering a happy and effective workspace, allowing both employees and members to thrive. This dual focus has propelled Cardinal to be recognized as a leading institution in the financial sector within the area, largely attributed to the knowledge and commitment exhibited by its workforce.

Eric Rubino, the CEO of Energage, commended the significance of the Top Workplaces award, stating, "It’s a badge of honor for organizations, reflecting authentic feedback from employees. Creating an atmosphere where staff feel their voice is valued is crucial in today’s corporate landscape; this is fundamental to the culture at Top Workplaces, and it ultimately translates to success."

Christine Blake, the CEO of Cardinal Credit Union, expressed her delight upon receiving this accolade once again this year. "Winning the Top Workplace distinction is a thrilling achievement for us. Our team members are our most valuable asset, which is why we concentrate on ensuring their satisfaction and equipping them with the right resources to perform effectively. We believe that this approach not only enhances the workplace experience but also positively impacts our community and members as a whole."

This isn't the first time Cardinal Credit Union has been honored; they have previously earned the Top Workplace designation for three consecutive years from 2021 to 2023, highlighting their sustained commitment to employee engagement and satisfaction.
