In Our Communities
Showing up in our communities is a vital part of our culture of caring. In 2025, more than 4,300 employees volunteered more than 81,000 hours with more than 1,500 nonprofit organizations across Illinois.
By logging their hours with our Blue CorpsSM Program, they generated more than $215,000 in matching donations for more than 170 organizations.
Through Blue Corps, our volunteer ambassadors and advocates organized and promoted 460 events in our buildings and in our communities to empower our teams to make an impact.
Our 2025 Volunteer of the Year, Piotr Majewski, volunteered nearly 200 hours at our Blue Door Neighborhood CenterSM locations and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
“Without volunteers, the GCFD would need to divert funds from food purchases to cover the work done by volunteers, reducing the amount of food sent out into the community,” he said.
Building a Culture of Caring
Because we’re committed to creating a dynamic and caring workplace, we encourage innovation, collaboration and personal growth and strive to ensure all employees feel heard and valued.
We bring this to life through our Employee Experience Councils and Business Resource Groups, which unite employees and leaders in shaping a workplace built to recognize, respect and celebrate unique experiences and perspectives.
In 2025 nearly 3,000 Illinois employees participated in one or more of our Business Resource Groups, which provide all employees with the opportunity to connect with others who share similar interests and foster a sense of community inside and outside of work.
Turning employee voices into action, we strengthen our culture of caring and make critical connections that help all of us better serve our members and offer products and services that meet their needs.
