When we met HSBC Vietnam, they faced a costly challenge: employees were leaving faster than expected, and the cycle of recruiting and replacing staff was draining resources. More importantly, staff didn’t feel engaged or see a long-term future at the bank.

THE CHALLENGE
Developing Financial Leaders at HSBC Vietnam
High turnover rates and rising recruitment costs
Employees disengaged and uncertain about career growth
Lack of a clear pipeline for team leader and manager roles
Pressure to boost efficiency and retain talent in a competitive market
HSBC wanted to invest in their employees’ futures to show the staff that they were valued at work and help them to develop a meaningful career as team leaders and managers at the bank long-term. They were keen to develop the skills and knowledge of 1,700 employees, all in non-management roles.
