RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia Credit Union has received the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA) for the third consecutive year.

Each year, the global research and analytics giant Gallup invites companies meeting a certain standard of excellence to vie for the prestigious GEWA, which recognizes the world’s best workplace cultures based on rigorous measurement of their employee engagement, leadership, and performance. Only 70 companies and organizations worldwide are being recognized in 2025.

“To be honored as one of the world’s best workplaces for three consecutive years, that’s truly special,” Chris Shockley, president/CEO of Virginia Credit Union, said in a statement. “At VACU and our Member One division, we are committed to the well-being and success of our people because it’s the right thing to do and because we understand that an engaged, elite workplace drives exceptional service and value for our members.”
