MADISON, Wis. – CUES said that CUNA Mutual Group has become a Platinum CUESolutions partner for its Executive Benefits Program and CUNA Mutual Retirement Solutions.
CUESolutions is a new CUES program designed to easily connect credit unions with suppliers who have the products and services they need to evolve and elevate their success, the organization said.
“The relationship CUNA Mutual Group and CUES has forged over the years is very important to us. It has provided valuable thought leadership to the industry since 1999, and both have played a vital role in helping credit unions grow and thrive,” said John Pembroke, CUES president and CEO.
“CUES member credit unions are clearly committed to developing their leadership talent, and we value the opportunity to help them accomplish that,” said Mike Defnet, CUNA Mutual Group, SVP, sales& marketing. “Our Executive Benefits and Retirement Solutions programs will help credit unions attract, retain and reward their high performing executives, and we are proud to be the first CUESolutions partner.”
Pembroke added, “This partnership is especially important when you consider that, according to the 2015 Compensation Best Practices Report from PayScale, 63% of companies report employee retention is their top concern. “Retaining talented leadership is critical in meeting a credit union’s strategic and financial goals. The partnership between CUES and CUNA Mutual Group makes perfect sense. It’s a force in the industry—one that will get even stronger through CUESolutions. We’re excited to begin this new phase of our partnership with CUNA Mutual Group.”
