While the average tenure for a Third Federal associate is 12 years, the average tenure for an associate age 52 or older (Baby Boomer) is 17 years. With just a 4% annual turnover, associates overall view their role at the company as more than just a job.

"For 77 years, Third Federal has focused on building and maintaining a company culture and workplace that our associates can thrive in and be proud of," said Marc A. Stefanski, chairman and CEO. "We're honored to be recognized as one of the top 20 companies for Baby Boomers, and proud that many of our associates view Third Federal as a company they can grow with throughout their career."

Rankings for the 20 Best Workplaces for Baby Boomers are based entirely upon employees' own feedback and selected from a database of more than 600 Great Place to Work-Certified organizations.

To determine the list, Fortune asked Great Place to Work® to survey nearly 34,000 Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), who rated their organizations on 58 workplace quality questions. Employees considered managers' competence and business ethics, people's advancement opportunities, impact of their organizations on the community and the pride their colleagues take in their work among many other factors.

Baby Boomers' anonymous responses resulted in a total score for each company, which was compared to the benchmark for organizations of that size. Companies needed to employ at least 50 Baby Boomers and achieve a 95% confidence level and margin of error of 5% or less in order to be eligible.
