The NCUA has been ranked as a “Best of the Best” place to work for minorities, women, veterans and Hispanics, the agency announced today.

The annual rankings are published by DiversityComm, Inc., a human resources research and consulting firm specializing in workplace diversity. It is also the parent company of Black EOE Journal, Professional Woman's Magazine, Hispanic Network and U.S. Veterans Magazine.

DiversityComm last year recognized the NCUA as a “best” place to work for women, veterans and minorities. This year marks the first time the agency has been recognized in all four categories.

During 2014, women represented 44.2% of the agency's workforce and 41.2% of senior staff; veterans represented 16.8% of the workforce and 4% of senior staff; and African Americans represented 14.3% of the workforce and 5.9% of senior staff.

In addition, Hispanics represented 4.3% of the workforce and 2% of senior staff; and Asian Americans, including Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, represented 5.7% of all employees and 3.9% of senior staff.

“The NCUA has an ongoing commitment to increasing the number of women and minorities on our staff, particularly in the management ranks,” NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said. “This recognition is both a reminder of how seriously we take that pledge and a motivator to do better. Our efforts to build a more diverse workforce also build a stronger workforce.”

The NCUA also is regularly recognized by the Partnership for Public Service as a desirable workplace for women, minorities and veterans, earning high ratings for leadership, diversity, fairness and employee empowerment.
