LGE Community Credit Union's Journey with Cooleaf

LGE Community Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial institution, faced the challenge of incentivizing its 345+ employees and fostering better connections across its numerous branches and departments. An internal survey revealed a strong employee desire for more recognition and automated, on-the-spot rewards. To address this, the credit union selected the employee engagement platform Cooleaf.

Implementing Cooleaf provided a streamlined solution for recognition, including celebrating milestones, core value awards, and virtual challenges focused on wellbeing. The platform’s ease of use and integrations led to widespread adoption. The results for LGE were significant, achieving a 99% annual adoption rate with 84% of managers issuing awards. Cooleaf helped create a more cohesive culture, earning the team an internal award for high peer recognition and driving a 71% activity participation rate.
