Navy Federal Credit Union has again been named one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2025. It marks the fifteenth occasion that the organization has been recognized on this list compiled by Great Place To Work in collaboration with Fortune magazine.
Commenting on the recognition, Holly Kortright, Chief Human Resource Officer at Navy Federal, stated, "Our team is the heartbeat of our mission. Without them, we couldn't deliver outstanding member experiences to the communities we serve. We invest in our people to create not only a great workplace but also an environment where innovation, growth, trust, and success thrive every day."
The 100 Best Companies list acknowledges organizations that establish high-trust work environments as determined through Great Place To Work’s proprietary survey platform. Companies on this list are evaluated based on confidential feedback from over 1.3 million U.S. employees, matched against relevant HR data.

Bush further explained that when trust is measured, it reveals potential within an organization, saying, “Employees at companies on this list have higher levels of trust in their leaders and in their organization, unlocking their creativity, passion, and resilience.”
In 2024, Navy Federal ranked on several other prestigious lists, including the Fortune Best Workplaces for Millennials, Financial Services & Insurance, and Women, in addition to being named among the PEOPLE Companies that Care.
