Coastal Community Credit Union has been awarded two new workplace distinctions for 2025.
For the seventh year in a row, the credit union has been certified as a Great Place to Work and has also been named to Great Place to Work’s 2025 list of Best Workplaces in B.C.
According to a release from Coastal Community, Great Place to Work is a global research and consulting firm that provides benchmarks and expertise to create, sustain and recognize outstanding workplace cultures. It is considered a global authority on high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures.
To be included in the firm’s best workplaces list, organizations must have exceptionally high scores on a trust index survey and must be certified as a Great Place to Work.
“Our greatest achievements stem from the collective spirit of our team,” said Sheri Gauthier, chief people officer at the credit union. “Every day, our employees bring care, commitment and trust to our workplace, creating an environment where people feel valued and empowered. Their survey feedback guides us in strengthening our culture and ensuring Coastal Community remains a place where everyone can thrive.”
These latest honours follow two earlier acknowledgements this year.
“Coastal Community was also named to lists for Best Workplaces for Giving Back and Best Workplaces in Financial Services and Insurance,” the release said. “These achievements are based on direct feedback from employees, gathered through an independent and anonymous survey conducted by Great Place to Work Institute Canada.”
The credit union said survey results reflect the voices of Coastal Community’s team members.
