WASHINGTON -
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, 91% of ABA employees said it is a great place to work - 34 points higher than the typical U.S. company. A summary of ABA's ratings can be found here.
"It is no small feat to earn the prestigious Great Place to Work® Certification™, and we are honored to receive this distinction once again with the highest score our association has ever recorded," said Rob Nichols, ABA president and CEO. "I am grateful to our staff for making ABA such a great place to work and for sharing their feedback. By having a positive and productive workplace that attracts the best talent, we are better able to deliver on our mission to represent America's banks in Washington and provide our members with exceptional service and support."

They take pride in their work, with 98% citing the service they deliver to members as "excellent." ABA employees expressed confidence in ABA leadership, with 95% saying ABA management is honest and ethical in its business practices. 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 is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place To Work. "It is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture.
