The rankings were determined based on an analysis of employee
survey responses by Great Place to Work® on issues including how
trustworthy, caring and fair the company is in times of crises;
employees’ physical, emotional and financial health; and the
company’s broader community impact.
At the beginning of the pandemic, we took swift action to put
the health and well-being of our colleagues first; helped our
customers in ways that matter to them most; and stepped up to
support the communities where we live and work:
- Our top priority has been to ensure our colleagues feel secure
in their jobs and have the flexibility and resources they need to
stay safe and healthy. In March 2020, we moved to a full-time
work-from-home arrangement in virtually all locations around the
world and extended our temporary work-from-home policy to September
6, 2021 to help our colleagues care for themselves and their
families.
- We have invested in our colleagues’ emotional and physical
well-being. Through our Healthy Minds mental health program we
offer free, confidential counseling available 24/7 to all
colleagues and their household members. Additionally, our Healthy
Living well-being coaches hold regular livestreamed workout
sessions and share at-home workout plans for those who are not able
to attend. We hosted a variety of webinars around topics such as
coping with COVID-19, building resilience, how to speak to children
about the pandemic, and much more. We also introduced an online
virtual meditation program and offered colleagues free memberships
for the mindfulness and meditation app Calm.
- In the wake of recent acts of violence against members of the
Black community in the United States, we developed a comprehensive
$1B Action Plan to drive meaningful and lasting change to create
equal opportunities for people of all genders, races and
ethnicities. We launched the Office of Enterprise Inclusion,
Diversity and Business Engagement responsible for driving these
programs and measuring the company’s progress against its
objectives.
- We have continued to have the backs of our communities, working
to provide aid for those who needed it most. We launched our
largest-ever Shop Small initiative, supporting small merchants in
18 markets around the world. We also partnered with Marriott to
support its Rooms for Responders initiative, and donated up to 1
million hotel room nights for frontline medical professionals
across the U.S., in partnership with Hilton. We extended this
initiative through a partnership with World Central Kitchen to
provide meals for frontline workers staying at Hilton properties,
which also supported restaurants by bringing unemployed or
furloughed restaurant workers back to work to make and distribute
meals.
- We’ve introduced numerous initiatives to support our customers,
including expanding our Financial Relief Program for both Consumer
and Small Business Card Members and adding limited-time offers,
discounts and credits to our Card products in the areas that
mattered most during the pandemic: home essentials, food
delivery/takeout, digital entertainment, wellness and business
services.
American Express’ vision is to provide the world’s best customer
experience every day, and our colleagues are constantly redefining
what’s possible. We’re proud to back them each step of the way.
