Texans has earned top honors, ranking 9th among midsize companies in Dallas-Fort Worth, 11th in the national financial services industry, and 50th in the 2024 Top Workplaces USA award for midsize companies.

Nationally, over 42,000 organizations were invited to participate in the survey, which measures key aspects of organizational culture, including leadership, communication, and employee satisfaction. As part of the process, 260 Texans Credit Union employees were surveyed. Results from 15 Culture Drivers correlate with high employee performance and organizational success benchmarked against industry standards. 

“We are incredibly honored to receive these recognitions for the second consecutive year,” said Jenni Short, chief people officer of Texans. “This is a true reflection of the culture we’ve cultivated here at Texans—one that prioritizes employee engagement, growth, and well-being.
