Seattle Credit Union named a finalist in GoWest’s 2026 Employee Experience Award
Seattle Credit Union is honored to be a finalist for GoWest Credit Union Association’s GoWest Awards 2026 Awards, Employee Experience. We are recognized for our Fixed-Term Assignment (FTA) program, which allows us to address temporary staffing needs while creating meaningful development opportunities for our staff.
About the FTA program
At Seattle Credit Union, we prioritize promoting from within, using external hiring only when necessary. When a temporary need arises — typically for three to six months due to a leave of absence, seasonal workload or special project — the opportunity is opened exclusively to internal candidates. Selected employees step into the stretch role while retaining a guaranteed return to their original position.
The FTA program provides our staff with on-the-job learning that builds skills, confidence and exposure to new departments and functions. At the same time, it eliminates the cost and disruption associated with external contingent staffing. Employees gain opportunities to explore new career paths and expand their capabilities, while managers benefit from employees who already understand the credit union’s culture and systems.
