Tapping into opportunities to offer feedback and ideas by working together. To empower this, we recently launched Talent Marketplace, an internal virtual marketplace where colleagues can share their skills, experience and aspirations via suitable short-term, on-the-job learning opportunities and collaborate on projects with colleagues from across the Bank.
Talent Marketplace’s algorithms match individuals with personalized project-based opportunities, based on their unique career history, skills, experiences, and interests as well as connect mentors and mentees. In addition to opening opportunities for colleagues to seek out new roles and career possibilities, participants can sharpen their skills by applying them across business functions and markets.
They can help make real, lasting change that goes well beyond wealth creation alone. From supporting global trade and investment, to helping people, companies and communities grow and prosper. We encourage our colleagues to do everything in the best possible way. It’s what makes us different.
Employees have the freedom and accountability to make a real difference to the work you do, challenge where we could be better and find new opportunities for innovation. With the Bank, colleagues will be part of an inclusive community driven by integrity and transparency that balances how we do business with our promise to be here for good.
Offering unrivalled opportunities to work with people from many different cultures and backgrounds and build relationships and partnerships on a global stage. We believe this diversity sets us apart. It also allow us to listen to new ideas, challenge each other’s viewpoints, unlock innovation and help us reach our full potential.
We ask colleagues to set Performance Goals, alongside of their Growth Goals. In addition, colleagues can set aspirational goals and are encouraged to have regular check-ins with their People Leaders to discuss their progress on their performance goals.
Performance Goals are goals that drive achievement of team goals and business outcomes (in line with responsibilities). These are set annually. Growth Goals are goals that focus on behaviors, skills & capabilities for improvements and can be set at any time. Aspirational Goal are ambitious goals (outside of the day-to-day responsibilities) that aspire to solve complex business problems or support our Stands, these can have a multi-year duration.
Colleagues and People Leaders are expected to have a minimum of 4 performance conversations per year, including an end-of-year conversation. Colleague performance will be assessed against progress against individual and team goals / targets, adherence to the Bank’s valued behaviors, feedback received, and role expectations.
We are a purpose led bank. Our purpose is aspirational but grounded in reality. We believe that we play a unique role in driving commerce and prosperity through our unique diversity.
We’re taking a stand to help solve some of the world’s most critical problems – lifting economic participation, helping emerging markets reduce carbon emissions, and supporting a fairer model for globalization. As well as addressing societal challenges, we believe these long-term ambitions will stretch and motivate everyone to deliver our strategy faster and better.
Our People are what makes us a great place to work. We have the best colleagues who are friendly, passionate, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile.
We also have great Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that offer many great opportunities for our colleague to get involved and feel included. With a major focus on D&I, we have publicly disclosed our ambitious gender and ethnicity targets.
We take a four-pillar approach to wellbeing for our colleagues – Financial Wellbeing, Social Wellbeing, Physical Wellbeing, and Mental Wellbeing. We believe that wellbeing is important and that colleagues can be more productive, creative and motivated if they feel comfortable, healthy and happy at work. Therefore, we always strive to support the wellbeing of our colleagues.
Living out our purpose, modeling our values and advocating for inclusion.
In doing so, colleagues can continually appreciate how we:
-Do the right thing, value braveness, challenge one another, and live with integrity, while putting the client at the heart of what we do
-Never settle, continuously striving to improve and innovate, keeping things simple and learning from both the things that go well, and those that don’t!
-Are better together, creating an inclusive place where each person is valued for being themselves, collectively working toward sustainable solutions
