Our Start point• We aim to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by providing
a superior service• We always ran graduate programmes – many award winning• In 2010 our engagement levels were close to best in class ,
our customer service levels were no different from our competitors
and customer recommendation scores were trending down• Feedback received that we were only providing professional qualifications for our graduates and
colleagues in regulated wealth roles
Action taken• We decided to look at professionalising our workforce with various initiatives including apprenticeships • We became the first major bank to deploy apprenticeships in the UK• The aims were professionalising the workforce and to build a non graduate development proposition
