Rochester, NY — ESL Federal Credit Union is pleased to announce that Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine named the locally-owned financial institution one of 2024’s Best Workplaces for Women.

ESL ranked number 19 on the list of 50 Best Small and Medium Workplaces for Women. In a separate ranking, the Great Place to Work list also includes 100 large companies to complete the full list of Best Workplaces for Women.

To determine the Best Workplaces for Women™ list, Great Place to Work measures key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company from more than 600,000 responses. The survey gives employees the opportunity to share confidential quantitative and qualitative feedback about their organization’s culture by responding to 60 statements on a five-point scale and answering two open-ended questions.

“We are thrilled to be named a Great Place to Work for Women once again,” said Faheem Masood, president and CEO, ESL Federal Credit Union. “We are proud that the ESL workforce is comprised of more than 65% women, working in important roles at all levels of the organization.
