Delta will match the $1,000 federal contribution to Trump Accounts for eligible children of employees.
“Delta people have made it clear they want to take advantage of every opportunity to build a solid financial foundation for themselves and their families,” said E.V.P. and Chief People Officer Allison Ausband. “This match is the latest in our ongoing commitment to invest in our people and their financial wellbeing through profit sharing, base pay raises, our Emergency Savings Program and more."
Matching the opening $1,000 deposit from the U.S. Treasury for eligible children born on or after Jan. 1, 2025, is Delta’s latest investment in our people. Delta will invest an estimated $18 billion in our people this year through “Total Rewards,” which includes:
- Financial Wellness resources, including the opportunity to earn up to $1,000 toward a rainy day fund by completing coaching and education available through the Emergency Savings Program launched in 2023 in direct response to employee feedback.
- $1.3 billion in profit sharing paid out in February – more than the rest of the airline industry combined.
- Five consecutive annual base pay increases, including a 4% base pay increase that took effect in June and represents a $500 million investment in our people.
Delta is consistently recognized for excellence as an employer, climbing to the top 10 on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, which is selected by workplace culture experts at Great Place To Work every year. Delta is the only commercial airline on the list.
