ST.
LOUIS, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MOHELA, a
non-profit organization dedicated to helping the student loan
borrowers it serves, has been awarded a 2024 Top Workplace by
USA Today.
The prestigious award from USA Today recognizes MOHELA's commitment
to fostering an inclusive work culture, making a positive impact in
the communities they serve, and fulfilling its mission of care for
their employees and borrowers.
"We are proud to be recognized as one of the nation's Top
Workplaces," said Scott Giles,
MOHELA's Executive Director and CEO. "This award is a testament
to the core values we deliver every day of service excellence,
teamwork, agility, integrity, respect, and stewardship. Our
employees take great pride in making a positive impact on lives by
providing support to borrowers while they are navigating their loan
repayment process. Our employees care about each other, and they
care about the borrowers we serve."
The Top Workplaces USA awards
recognize organizations with 150 or more employees for fostering
strong workplace cultures. Winners are selected based on employee
feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey.
MOHELA's employees across teams are actively engaged and
connected with one another outside of work. They participate in a
variety of recreational activities — including a staff soccer team,
book club, and bowling league. Activities span from local
activities to cross-country for virtual events like the book club
and a cooking demonstration.
Leadership and peers recognize employees for their
accomplishments – big and small. The PROPS Recognition Committee
launched employee recognition software in 2023 that encourages
staff members to show their appreciation for each other. In the
first year alone, there were more than 6,000 messages of
recognition and praise shared among employees.
