On January 25, Chang M. Liu, President and CEO; Lori Burquez, SVP, Human Resources; Craig Lock, FVP, Benefits & Wellness; and Vivian La, AVP, Benefits & Wellness, accepted an award from Gallagher, a global insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting services firm, honoring Cathay Bank as part of its Best-in-Class Awards. Under Craig’s leadership, this is the second award the bank has received. In being named a Best-in-Class Employer, the bank was identified as an organization that excelled in optimizing employee and organizational well-being.
“We strive to provide an environment where our most important asset — our team members — are able to thrive personally and professionally in their roles, and we are extremely honored to receive this recognition,” Chang said. “This award provides an important differentiator as we compete for talent in today’s tight labor market.”
More than 4,000 employers participated in Gallagher’s annual survey, and only 112, or 17%, received this prestigious Best-in-Class designation. Of the participants, 682 employers fell under the large employer category (with 1,000 or more full-time employees), including Cathay.
Participating employers were assigned points and placed in quartiles based on their relative performance in the following award criteria:
“Cathay Bank was recognized as a U.S. Best-in-Class Employer because of how it approaches organizational priorities with a long-term outlook; provides high-quality, high-value benefits; and builds and solidifies a strong organizational culture through its communications,” said William F. Ziebell, CEO of Gallagher's Benefits & HR Consulting Division “In doing so, Cathay Bank invests in the whole employee by providing distinct and relevant well-being resources that will attract and retain talent.”
