SECU WINS THE BALTIMORE SUN’S TOP WORKPLACES 2025 AWARD
SECU named Top Workplace by The Baltimore Sun for a fifth consecutive year
BALTIMORE (December 8, 2025) – SECU, Maryland’s largest state-chartered credit union, is proud to announce it has been named a Top Workplace in the large employer category by The Baltimore Sun for 2025. SECU officially ranked number three out of 44 Maryland businesses recognized in the “Large Business” category, representing those with more than 400 employees in the region.
SECU has been featured on the list for five consecutive years, having been recognized in 2023 and 2024 as a top Midsize Employer and winner in the Cultural Excellence category in 2022 and 2020. Additionally, in 2021, SECU earned the title of Innovative Workplace.
The Top Workplace honor is determined by employee feedback from anonymous surveys collected by the third-party platform, Energage. Surveys collected measured employee satisfaction across several sectors of workplace culture, including pay and benefits, flexibility, purpose, and connection.
“At SECU, our employees are our biggest asset,” said David Sweiderk, president and CEO of SECU. “We are a purpose-driven, values-based organization dedicated to creating meaningful, people-centered experiences for both our members and employees. That sense of purpose is what makes SECU not just a good place to work, but a place where people truly want to belong. Our core principles are simple: do the right thing, and make every interaction easy, enjoyable, and effective. By bringing real value and relevance to people’s lives, we create positive outcomes that naturally follow.”
Now in its 15th year, The Baltimore Sun annually honors the region’s top workplaces with various titles and categories on the Top Workplaces list. These awards highlight employers in the Baltimore area that provide extraordinary work environments, that inspire and motivate their employees. Employers are recognized for this honor when their employees share positive experiences about workplace culture through the anonymous survey.
The Top Workplaces award follows SECU’s recognition in Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions 2025. Visit the Baltimore Sun website to view the full list of top employers for 2025.
