One Million Reasons to Love Working at Suncoast Suncoast employees bring their hearts to work each day to make sure our members get the very best. That’s why our culture lets our employees thrive and succeed.
Adapting Workspaces to Meet Team Needs In recent years, workplace needs have changed. To ensure our teams are able to maximize their efficiency, we’ve updated the options for how our teams work each day. As always, we have some positions that are located in a Suncoast office or branch. We also have remote work options for select positions, while others are hybrid, letting employees work from their home office some days and come into the office others. These flexible career options help us attract new talent, and make sure that every department at Suncoast has the ability to securely staff their positions in the way that best suits their specific needs.
Offering Career Development Opportunities
At Suncoast, we have so much more than just jobs — we offer careers! Whether an employee wants to work their way up in a specific field or learn something new, our career paths let our team build the futures they want. Our Leadership Excellence Achievement Program (LEAP) had a new class of graduates in 2021. LEAP is a year-long leadership development program geared towards cultivating management and leadership talent within the credit union. We also continued to offer other leadership and learning development opportunities, with workshops available in a variety of topics. Employees can also shadow other team members through our CU 360 program. Managers are also encouraged to continue to grow and develop at Suncoast. Our management development journey is a series of competency-based workshops aimed to align development and training with established manager competencies and support vertical growth within the management career stream.
Hiring New Team Members in New Ways As we approached the incredible milestone of reaching one million members in 2021, we needed to make sure we had the team needed to support them. To accomplish this, we had a number of hiring initiatives designed to find the very best talent to become new Suncoast employees. Our job fairs in 2021 were more than just an opportunity to start an amazing career with Suncoast. We also offered signing bonuses to new hires and referral bonuses for Suncoast employees. To ensure the safety of potential hires and Suncoast employees, we even offered drive-thru job fairs that allowed for applications and interviews to be completed from the safety of an applicant’s car during the pandemic. The results of these efforts were astounding, bringing our team to more than 2,100 employees strong to better serve our members.
