American Savings Bank Makes PEOPLE’s Top 100 “Companies That Care” List
American Savings Bank is the only Hawaiʻi company recognized on PEOPLE’s “100 Companies That Care 2021” list, which partners with Fortune Magazine’s “Great Place to Work” program to identify the top US companies supporting their employees and their surrounding communities.
“We are excited about this recognition and humbled to be featured alongside some of the top companies in the US,” said Beth Whitehead, executive vice president and chief administrative officer. “We really try hard to find meaningful ways to take care of our team members and community because we want them to know how much we value and appreciate them.”
This prestigious national ranking was awarded based on survey results and feedback from ASB teammates about their experience working at ASB.
To support its teammates during the pandemic, ASB gave pay bonuses to frontline teammates for going above and beyond to take care of customers. ASB also offered interest-free Malama Loans to any team member negatively impacted by the pandemic.
