DES MOINES, Iowa – Affiliates Management Company (AMC) has been selected as one of the top places to work in the state of Iowa for the second year in a row based on employee survey results.
The Top Workplaces, recognized annually by the Des Moines Register, are determined by employee feedback from a survey conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading third-party research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured including alignment, execution and connection.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together." Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
AMC is the holding company of the Iowa Credit Union League (ICUL) that, along with ICUL’s operating companies, include Coopera, PolicyWorks, The Members Group, TMG Financial Services and the philanthropic arm, the Iowa Credit Union Foundation. Employees pursue the mission by following and maintaining four core values: people matter, collaborate for results, ownership perspective and embrace change.
