The world's local bank
BEING A PART OF
THE WORLD'S LOCAL TEAM
Ours is a team where you will find a strong local culture in a truly global environment. A team with a commitment to training that enables its people to develop themselves. A team that offers the right rewards for the right performances. A team where we can make the most of our talent and achieve more on our career journeys.
We are more than the sum of our parts. We are a leader in banking, powered by leading local teams working together to achieve the worldwide reach modern business demands. International exposure, experience and development opportunities are standard with HSBC, but recognising the importance of our local knowledge is more than just a slogan to us; it is a value that guides our business, the core ethos from which our success grows. The culture that makes us the world's local bank.

Rewards and Benefits
HSBC is a large, well-established organisation that can offer the creativity of careers performance remuneration and management, diversity, longevity of employment and involvement in society. Indeed we appreciate the significance of our reputation as a prestige employer. But can HSBC offer you the rewards that will enable you to meet your life aspirations? The answer is, it's very much up to you. Our total financial rewards package is already market competitive. However, increasingly our reward ethos is based upon a variable pay for performance meritocracy, whereby annual bonus is linked to a performance appraisal process that looks back at past performance as much as future potential and development. In addition our very top performers, once they reach middle management levels, receive HSBC shares as part of their rewards package, top performing junior management and other employees can receive additional bonus awards. For specific sales oriented roles, sales incentive schemes can offer uncapped rewards potential.
Benefits packages comprise of an approved contributory pension scheme, that is generally taken as a preferred option to MPF, a comprehensive medical plan, annual leave (including sick leave and maternity leave), life insurance coverage, a Sharesave plan where all employees can purchase HSBC shares at discount, and preferential banking terms. Many of our people also participate in the vast array of sports and social activities that are either informally arranged or organised by our Wayfoong Sports and Social Club.
Employee Training and Development
'To be a key value creator by anticipating future business trends and delivering learning and employee development solutions for business success'. This is the vision of our Learning and Development team. It's a vision that translates into a relationship management approach to identify and meet the training needs of our key business areas. Specific product and skills training is provided for all levels of professionals in our retail banking and wealth management department, our corporate banking businesses and in the fast developing area of wealth management. Additionally, management training, leadership skills, language and technical skills training, is provided across all departments.
HSBC offers a range of delivery channels that provide the most effective solution. Classroom-based training brings people together to learn and to network. In addition technology is employed to distribute learning solutions and information quickly, either by CD-ROM/DVD or intranet-based e-learning channels.
Professional and comprehensive training resources are a significant benefit of joining the world's local team. Our philosophy, however, is to provide the facilities and resources for our people to access, in order to meet their learning needs and self-development goals. Learning opportunities are there. It is up to our people to take them.
The people who excel in HSBC...
...are obviously not all the same. Each function and team requires vastly different specialist expertise and skills. Indeed, diversity is a cornerstone of our employment and development philosophy. 'An equal opportunities employer' is more than merely a statement of practice, it is a reality that we develop and reward our people solely on their professional capabilities and their performance.
However we have identified some qualities and capabilities that are common to those who excel in HSBC:
Responsive: We will always try to anticipate and act quickly to ensure we meet and exceed our customers' ever-changing expectations.
Respectful: We don't accept stereotypes. We look for the value in everyone.
Fair: We reward our customers for the commitment they give to us.
Progressive: We are driven by the belief that we can shape a better future.
Perceptive: We look harder, in order to understand things more deeply, and this informs everything we do.
The HSBC Capability Framework sets out in detail the capabilities that are important for people to excel in HSBC. This is provided as part of our ongoing process of development assessment that identifies those with the potential for further personal and career development.
