American Bankers Association Earns 2023 Great Place to Work® Certification™

The American Bankers Association has once again been Certified™ by Great Place to Work®, the association announced today. ABA first earned the distinction in 2017. The national recognition is based entirely on what current employees said about their experience working at ABA in an independent anonymous survey. This year, 83% of ABA employees said it is a great place to work – 26 points higher than the average U.S. company. 

“We are proud and honored to once again earn the prestigious Great Place to Work® Certification™,” said Rob Nichols, ABA president and CEO. “We strive to foster an inclusive, collaborative and accountable culture where people feel welcome. This certification underscores the remarkable efforts of our staff at all levels to uphold these values while providing gold-standard service to banks of all sizes.” 

Overall, ABA employees overwhelmingly responded that new team members are made to feel welcome when they join the organization, and that management is honest and ethical in its business practices. They take pride in their work, with 94% citing the service they deliver to members as “excellent.” The core competencies on which ABA employees are evaluated emphasize collaboration and teamwork, innovation, accountability and integration. The association continues to introduce policies and programs to help balance the needs of its diverse workforce, including flexible work arrangements, professional development opportunities for all staff, and benefits to reduce financial burden on commuters, new parents and those managing student loans. 

“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that ABA is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation. According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace.
