Bank of America employee networks

Employee Networks are a key part of our culture of inclusion and provide tremendous opportunities to meet new people, have an impact across multiple business lines and grow personally and professionally.

Connecting with others at all levels outside of your normal business routine expands your network and perspective – and deepens your level of understanding and compassion.

Overview

Our Employee Networks are formally recognized, bank supported groups that provide employees with opportunities to connect with each other to develop leadership skills, build strong ties with our communities, broaden views of diversity and address issues that matter. We have 11 Employee Networks with more than 280 chapters made up of more than 140,000 memberships worldwide.
 

  • One in every four employees is a member of at least one Employee Network.
  • Networks coordinate thousands of events each year, focusing on business strategy, courageous conversations and giving back to communities.
  • Our Employee Network portal makes it easy for new members to join and existing members to sign up for events.
