HSBC colleagues from across Jersey, Guernsey, Sark and the Isle of Man, are taking advantage of a number of the Bank’s development programmes, which aim to support personal and professional career growth.
HSBC Rise, now in its second year and third cohort, is designed to inspire colleagues to embrace their potential and amplify their impact in the professional world.
Over the coming months, the latest cohort will take part in a series of carefully crafted workshops, through which they are encouraged to share, learn, reflect, and enjoy the process of growth and transformation.
The programme will focus on three core themes, including leadership potential and maximising talent; personal empowerment and leadership gravitas; and establishing meaningful connections to drive personal and professional growth. In addition, these in-depth workshops will be complemented by tailored individual coaching.
Commenting on the importance of the RISE talent programme, Elvina Aghajanyan, Head of Human Resources, HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, said: “It’s vital as a business that we continue to offer an attractive and tailored pathway for our people, through which they can be supported and inspired in their personal and professional growth and development.
“The latest Rise Talent Programme follows on from the launch earlier this year of the Bank’s ‘Shadow Board’, which aims to develop and unlock future senior talent within the business, who will collaborate with the local Executive Committee to provide valuable perspectives, innovative solutions, and strategic guidance on a variety of organizational initiatives, with each Shadow Board cohort running for 12 months.”
Warwick Long, CEO, HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, commenting on the Shadow Board, said: “We have focused significantly on our leadership capabilities this year across the islands, as we continue to build a high quality, engaged and sustainable workforce. The successful creation of our Shadow Board has been a key part of that strategy. Both initiatives are providing clear opportunities for our people to develop rewarding and impactful careers with HSBC.”
