Everyday dedication meets everyday appreciation

We continue to invest in our employees with initiatives like Sharing Success, which awarded 96% of colleagues additional compensation this year, nearly all in stock. This is the sixth time teammates received this award, totaling more than $4 billion. We are committed to being a Great Place to Work for our teammates locally and around the globe including providing leading benefits, minimum wage at $22/hr on track to $25/hr by 2025 and opportunities to build a career with us.

Another boost in the fight against hunger in Monterey Bay

We're committed to supporting our employees' health and safety and to addressing our local communities' most critical needs. That's why we've donated to local hunger-relief organizations on behalf of each employee who received a COVID-19 vaccine or booster and/or a flu shot.* In addition, employees are doubling the impact of their personal donations to fight hunger with our matching gifts program.

Through this effort, our team in Monterey Bay recently presented Food Bank for Monterey County and Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County with checks totaling $25,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

Let’s build something together

As a diverse community that's largely rooted in the agriculture and hospitality industries, we were hit hard when the health crisis began here in Monterey Bay. We focused our relief funding on healthcare and food insecurities, stocking food banks and funding a COVID-19 ward that provided additional rooms and equipment. For our largely Hispanic and Latino community, we're focused on supporting programs that provide upskilling to create career pipelines in hospitality and agriculture as well as technology and design. We're proud to support a great nonprofit program that helps high school graduates learn how to build websites and produce videos—skills that were in demand for businesses who hadn't established an online presence before the health crisis hit. This program better positions businesses to withstand future challenges, plus it's cultivating exciting careers for the next generation of our workforce.

Racial equality and economic opportunity

At Bank of America, we’re committed to addressing the root causes of inequality through a company-wide commitment to advancing racial equality and economic opportunity across diverse communities. We are doing this by building upon our existing efforts and leveraging our strengths: creating more affordable housing and expanding home ownership, increasing lending and support to minority-owned small businesses, championing job training and career readiness and addressing health disparities like access to care. We also know we can’t solve these challenges alone, so we’re partnering with other corporations, local nonprofits and community leaders across the country who share our vision for creating meaningful change.

Fueling economic growth through jobs and skills development

The job skills gap has disproportionately affected Black and Latino individuals – and this disparity has been compounded by the coronavirus. To help address this gap, Bank of America works with local nonprofits, employers and broader networks across the country to support skills-training programs that meet the specific workforce demands of local communities. The result is a diverse talent pipeline for employers – and a clear path to employment for individuals.
