HUMAN CAPITAL: CONTINUALLY ADAPTING SKILLS
An essential asset, human capital requires us to continually adapt to stay competitive in our markets. Our goal is to allocate the right skills, at the right time, in the right place, to the right investment and with the right mindset.
To do this, we are boosting our skills development, recruitment and mobility policies in three key ways: anticipating the competencies we need, offering better quality recruitment and developing skills and training. We have an ambitious target set for 2025: 90% of the Group’s employees must complete at least four training courses within the last twelve month period.
For several years, we have been committed to a proactive action of training in responsible investment. The WeEngage programme, which we designed in 2020 to raise awareness of sustainable finance issues among our employees, continued in 2021. In addition, the Sustainability Academy, launched in 2022, will give our teams the opportunity to follow a training path dedicated to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues by 2025.
In April 2021, BNP Paribas organised Mobility Days to support employees in their mobility projects, bringing together 13,000 employees in 42 countries. This initiative provides employees with information on career paths and available positions, and opens discussions with managers and HR to learn more about the Group’s activities and challenges. In France, a number of 100% digital events also aim to support mobility paths: Mobi’Live is for employees to discover a business or an entity, Let’s Get Inside is to find out about the opportunities and positions to be filled, and Let’s Move Inside is to apply for positions.
From April to June 2021, a dozen masterclasses were organised – mainly in France – that allowed more than 2,000 employees to receive practical advice to boost their professional careers and skills, build their personal development plans and more easily provide feedback on About Me (a digital platform that contains each employee’s key information to create real opportunities for connection between employees, managers and HR).
More than
24,000
EMPLOYEES
changed jobs within the Group in 2021, with a significant increase in cross‑functional mobility (a change in country, legal entity, profession or function).
TRAINING TO ENGAGE
The WeEngage programme offered to all our employees takes the form of a mini‑series in seven modules that each contain a video and quiz. By the end of 2021, more than 40,000 training sessions had already been completed.
