OU Credit Union is committed to cultivating a culture where everyone feels safe to be their full and authentic selves. We strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment in our branches, call center, eService interactions, and back offices where employees and members can feel comfortable and accepted. We encourage our employees to fully and accurately express themselves by giving them the option of adding their pronouns to name tags and email signatures to help inform others on how to refer to them appropriately and respectfully.
In support of our inclusive environment, our CU Pride Affinity Group comprised of LGBTQIA2S+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirited) and allied employees worked with Credit Union leadership to implement inclusive methods for employees to share their pronouns including in email signatures and our employee intranet.
Additionally, a small group of employees involved with our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council have continued this work to create educational resources on gender, pronouns, and identity for members and employees. They're also working with leadership and multiple internal departments to make corresponding enhancements to forms, documents, employee trainings, and more.
