Capital Credit Union, a member-owned financial cooperative that demonstrated tangible results from the implementation of a new people-focused employee culture, has been named as the winner of the 2025 New North Workplace Excellence Award.
Nominated companies are selected through a multi-phase evaluation process that is independent from the New North organization.
Representatives from the company were presented the award at the New North Summit, held June 5 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
The honor recognizes organizations in the region that are improving their competitive advantage through people practices which lead to successful business outcomes. Award submissions are evaluated on nine criteria, with the primary two being forward-thinking people practices and sustainable impacts to the business and culture. The Workplace Excellence Award is a collaboration between New North Inc. and Keystone Partners.
“Capital Credit Union has shown that positive outcomes result when you put a people-focused culture, emphasizing empathy and collaboration, in place,” says Barb LaMue, president and CEO of New North Inc. “They have become a recognized model employer within the New North region while also achieving strong business performance. They are an apt illustration of what the Workplace Excellence Award is all about. We are fortunate to have their people and business leadership in our region, and salute their success.”
