Levi's has run a worker savings program since 2015 but in recent years has participated in BlackRock's initiative. When new employees get hired at the Levi's store in Lone Tree, Colorado, there's one job perk for them that really stands out, says store manager Debbra Ward — a company emergency-savings program that includes a match. If store workers save $40 per month, Levi's will match that with another $40 per month; in addition, they get a $20 sign-on bonus. But even after it ends, Ward expects the workers who have enrolled will continue to participate after they have built a habit of savings. Levi's has been running a program to help workers boost their emergency savings since 2015.
