We foster a collaborative culture where every employee feels supported, valued, and encouraged to grow. We believe that when people are empowered to bring forward their ideas and develop their skills, they spark transformation, not only within FHLBank Chicago but also across the communities we serve. In our daily work, we listen to and value all perspectives, and we strive to do our best work together.
Employees shape our culture through their unique perspectives, skillsets and voices. We offer an array of initiatives to engage, motivate and connect employees to build stronger teams and attract top talent.
In 2025, we welcomed a new cohort of managers to our Coaches Helping to Accelerate Managers Program (CHAMP). This is a six month management coaching program that pairs seasoned leaders with newer managers to support their development goals and provide ongoing mentorship. Throughout the program, managers and coaches meet regularly to align on learning objectives, debrief on training assignments, and discuss progress on goals and how their learning has been put into practice within their teams. CHAMP also gives coaches experience in guiding the development of others to help shape FHLBank Chicago’s future leadership and culture.
