Mountain America Credit Union Recognized for Work-Life Effectiveness

WEST JORDAN, UT--(Marketwired - January 15, 2016) - Mountain America Credit Union has earned the WorldatWork® Work-Life 2016 Seal of Distinction, for demonstrating leadership in workplace strategies that help employees with personal work-life balance.

The Seal of Distinction is awarded every year to companies across North America that support employees at work and at home. The overall strength of a company's work-life program is evaluated along with work-life policies and practices reflected in:

• Caring for dependents
• Health and wellness
• Flexibility
• Financial support and education
• Paid and unpaid time off
• Community involvement
• Workforce experience and engagement

"Our employees commit themselves to Mountain America's core values in order to provide the best possible experience for our members. We honor our employees' commitment by providing them with the same regard that our membership receives," said Vice President of Human Resources Laura Fischer. "Employees' personal lives don't pause when they walk into the office. A balanced work-life gives employees the opportunity to be more positive, productive and fully present while they are working. That translates to company-wide success."

"Mountain America recognizes that a positive work experience is essential to employee engagement and organizational success," said WorldatWork President and CEO Anne Ruddy, CCP. "This year's Work-Life Seal of Distinction honorees are an impressive group of employers that clearly understands the business value of investing in the people who do the work."

This year Mountain America was among 116 companies, including Texas Instruments, Caterpillar, Humana, U.S. Department of Agriculture and Yale University, recognized for creating a workplace culture that supports work-life balance and for being an employer of choice.

All 2016 Seal of Distinction companies will be formally recognized at a gala awards dinner on March 9, during the WorldatWork Future of Work Forum in New Orleans. To find out more about the WorldatWork Work-Life Seal of Distinction, go to www.worldatwork.org/sealofdistinction.
