Why Wait? Become the best version of yourself with the Standard Bank Group
Pioneers don’t allow themselves to become trapped in a comfort zone - they challenge the status quo. They expect more – from themselves, their life and their careers. If you are passionate about reaching your full potential, whilst supporting others to do the same, then the Standard Bank Group is the place for you.
“We are very proud to have been named by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Employers for 2023 – one of only seven companies on the African continent to be honoured in this way,” says Sharon Taylor, Standard Bank Group Chief People and Culture Officer.
“We are fortunate that the Group’s purpose – ‘Africa is our home, we drive her growth’ – is deeply ingrained in our DNA. This is a workplace where people get to live their purpose every day, whether they are in one of our 20 countries on the continent, or our six international centres. This is a clear competitive advantage for us, in our ability to attract and retain the best talent across our geographic footprint,” adds Taylor.
Our commitment to ensuring that our 50,000+ strong workforce grow and thrive, is reflected in our people’s feedback:
- In 2023, 91% of our people shared their views on working for us and our employee engagement score was +48, well ahead of the financial services benchmark of +30 for the continent.
- 95% of our people are proud to be associated with the Group and 96% understand how they contribute to our purpose.
- In 2023, we invested more than R1 billion in the growth of our people. An incredible 60% of our vacancies were filled by current employees and over 5 000 of our people were promoted into bigger roles. This is testament to the internal bench strength we continue to build and the ability of our people to grow their careers with us.
“The Group has recently been named as the Best Bank in Africa in Global Finance’s 31st World’s Best Banks Awards and has also been ranked as Africa’s most valuable banking brand for the third consecutive year in Brand Finance’s 2024 rankings. We are always on the look-out for talented individuals who aspire to be part of a winning team and making a real difference on this continent we call home,” concludes Taylor.
So Why Wait – join us and be part of Africa’s growth story!
