FourLeaf Federal Credit Union Triumphs with Gold Award for Magnetic Culture During Expansion

FourLeaf Federal Credit Union Achieves Prestigious Recognition

In a celebrated announcement, FourLeaf Federal Credit Union has proudly embraced recognition as the Gold award winner in the Magnetic Culture category at the prestigious 2025 Employee Voice Awards presented by Quantum Workplace. This accolade showcases FourLeaf's exceptional dedication to creating an engaging workplace that inspires employees to stay and thrive amidst a dynamic, purpose-driven culture.

According to Linda Armyn, the President and CEO of FourLeaf, the essence of this magnetic culture lies within their people. “This award reflects the passion, collaboration, and voices of our teammates,” Armyn stated. The commitment is not just to foster a desirable work environment but to allow employees to innovate and serve communities collectively.

Recognized as a Great Place to Work®, FourLeaf has been included in Fortune's list of "Best Workplaces in New York," rated 11th among midsize companies in 2025. Impressively, a staggering 92% of its employees feel it is an outstanding place to work, significantly exceeding the national average of 57%. What distinguishes FourLeaf is its unwavering commitment to professional growth, community service, and social engagement, alongside cultivating a supportive workplace environment.

The timing of this honor cannot be overlooked, as FourLeaf is undergoing a transformative rebranding process and expanding into new markets. With a workforce nearing 1,000 employees, the organization aims to sustain its inclusive culture while connecting its workforce with a redefined mission. The rebranding is not merely a change of name but a reaffirmation of FourLeaf's core values: Respectful, Ethical, Inclusive, Collaborative, and Innovative. This evolution promotes a culture where each employee is seen, supported, and empowered, fostering a collective role in shaping the future of FourLeaf.

Cindi Fosler, Chief Customer Officer at Quantum Workplace, commended FourLeaf for its robust internal culture, mentioning how employee feedback translates into measurable business and community outcomes. FourLeaf’s meticulous attention to engagement programs, including organization-wide surveys, virtual discussions, and manager-led panels, has played a pivotal role in sustaining high morale.

The establishment of Employee Resource Groups like Brilliance (women's empowerment), Multicultural Mosaic, and Prism (LGBTQ+) signifies an inclusive approach that enhances the work environment, encouraging diversity and learning. The Union also invests in unique programs aimed at individual growth, fostering social connections through events such as beach volleyball, annual pet adoption drives, and festive luaus.

These initiatives have yielded remarkable results, as employee retention rates climbed to 91.3% in 2024, while turnover dropped from 12.1% to 9.8%. Furthermore, promotion rates increased to 16.9%, alongside a rise in engagement favorability to 85.4%. The willingness to recommend FourLeaf as an employment opportunity surged from 86.2% to 89.0%.

FourLeaf's commitment extends beyond internal culture through its impactful FourLeaf Cares program, engaging employees in fostering community growth. In 2024 alone, team members contributed approximately $2 million to local causes, hosted over 150 financial education sessions, and volunteered more than 4,000 hours. The longstanding traditions, including the FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach and the quarterly Turkey Drive, emphasize the strong commitment to community service.

“This award celebrates our commitment to excellence and our employees’ remarkable contributions, particularly their dedication to sharing constructive ideas and feedback, ensuring our growth every day,” stated Melissa Feeney, the Chief Administrative Officer of FourLeaf.
