The nationwide survey evaluated thousands of companies with at least 250 employees, based on key criteria such as trust, satisfaction, and willingness to recommend their workplace. The acknowledgment underscores EastWest’s efforts to prioritize its workforce as a critical driver of its success and underscores its belief that its people are its greatest asset.

EastWest’s inclusion in the PDI-Statista Best Employers list highlights its focus on creating a dynamic and inclusive workplace that empowers employees to thrive both personally and professionally. The Bank has rolled out a variety of initiatives designed to foster employee engagement, enablement, and well-being:
