Baxter CU Again Named To ‘Companies Who Care’ List

VERNON HILLS, Ill. - For the fourth time, the $1.2-billion Baxter Credit Union (BCU) has been recognized by The Center for Companies Who Care. BCU was one of 41 companies named to its 2008 Honor Roll. Honor roll recipients are chosen for their dedication to improving the quality of life not only for their employees, but for members of the greater community as well, and for adhering to 10 specific attributes inherent to a “Company That Cares.” BCU was recognized for an improved process flow (Ackcelerant), the opening of three additional service centers and a new internal communications publication (Directions). Additionally, while BCU donated over $220,000 to dozens of agencies, BCU employees volunteered a collective 1,100 hours participating in activities such as The Relay for Life, The Angel Tree of Giving, and The Multiple Myeloma 5K. BCU also recognizes employee initiatives through the distribution of Service Excellence awards, Cuffs Awards (fraud detection), and AIM Awards (quality suggestions) and rolled out an enhanced mentoring program last fall.
