Colleagues are at the center of everything we do, and we are proud to share our 2022 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Report. As #TeamAmex, we embrace diversity and stand for inclusion, and this report provides transparency into our ongoing efforts to maintain a diverse and equitable workplace through programs and initiatives across the colleague experience, including recruitment, career growth and development, our Colleague Networks, holistic well-being benefits, flexibility with Amex Flex, and more. What really makes this report stand out are the firsthand accounts and stories from our amazing colleagues around the world. You’ll read their reflections on our strong, supportive culture and the many ways they’ve experienced the backing of American Express—both in their day-to-day lives and in the moments that matter most.

We’re proud to be named to Seramount, part of EAB's 2022 Inclusion Index which underscores #TeamAmex’s commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.

We believe that building the strongest Team Amex starts with hiring people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We partnered up with Multiverse, a mission-driven organization that builds modern apprenticeship programs for talent that have the skills and qualifications for a role, but who may not have a 4-year degree. Caisey Jefferson Kakascik, Vice President of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion discusses the importance of the partnership and how it helps to foster a diverse culture.
Being recognized on WayUp's list of Top 100 Internship Programs for the third year is an honor for us. #TeamAmex colleagues take pride in our special culture built on strong relationships, shared values and purpose, and an unwavering commitment to back our customers, communities and each other. We offer a compelling colleague value proposition that includes meaningful work and many opportunities for colleagues to grow throughout their career, a flexible and inclusive culture with a strong sense of belonging, and competitive pay and benefits to support their holistic wellbeing—their physical, financial and mental health.

Today, we’re proud to rank No. 4 on Great Place to Work US and Fortune's list of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Women, recognizing our continued progress towards cultivating a culture of inclusion for our women colleagues and supporting their ambition. "Supporting our women colleagues is an important part of building an inclusive environment at Amex and we remain committed to offering flexibility while inspiring and enabling women to confidently pursue their ambitions," says Courtney Kelso, American Express' Executive Vice President and General Manager of Commercial Card Products, and Executive Sponsor of the company’s Executive Women’s Interest Network.
In describing American Express’ plan to hire 1,500 technology colleagues in the U.S., India and Europe, Ravi Radhakrishnan, Chief Information Officer, American Express, said their skills will be greatly complemented by Amex’s culture: “There’s a lot of talent that wants to understand how we approach flexibility. It’s not just the flexibility that we offer – the option to be virtual, in-person or hybrid. It’s combining it with purpose. We do that. We ask people to work with their leaders to determine the purpose for coming in.”
We’re proud to back our #TeamAmex colleagues and their loved ones with benefits and programs that support their holistic well-being through each stage of their life. This week, American Express was recognized by Seramount on both its 100 Best Companies and Best Companies for Dads lists for 2022, which recognizes companies for cultivating family-friendly workplace cultures. David Kasiarz, Executive Vice President, Colleague Total Rewards & Well-being and Executive Sponsor of our Families@Amex network says: “So many colleagues play critical roles in the day-to-day lives of their loved ones. I’d encourage all parents and caregivers to lean into the backing, flexibility and community we have at Amex—it’s here for you in good and challenging times.”
