Last weekend was #InternationalWomensDay, and March 18 marks American Express’ 175th Anniversary. So, this #TeamAmex Tuesday, it felt fitting to feature Virginia, who reflects on how Amex has always had her back, particularly with our parental leave benefit 40 years ago: I'm Virginia, I’m a Benefits Operations Manager and I've been with Amex since 1982. When I was expecting my daughter in 1985, the U.S. Family and Medical Leave Act did not exist, and many women had to choose between starting a family and keeping their jobs. Of course, Amex was ahead of its time. They offered mothers eight weeks of paid maternity leave with a job guarantee, which back then was very rare. As my family’s breadwinner, having this support and security gave me confidence during such an important life moment. Fast forward to 35 years later, I was on the team that helped support the launch of our U.S. parental leave policy, which now offers 20 weeks paid leave to eligible mothers and fathers, including adoption or surrogacy. We talk about ‘powerful backing for our Card Members and customers’ a lot at Amex, but I’m most proud of how well this company provides powerful backing to its colleagues. It reminds me why I've called Amex home for so long. Looking back on my 42 years here, I see a company that's never stopped growing to meet its colleagues' needs. I'm grateful to have built my career at Amex! Find your place on #TeamAmex. Explore open roles here: https://lnkd.in/eJPA7P-8. American Express is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
