MONTREAL, Dec. 13, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - National Bank is proud to have been recognized as a global employer of choice for its corporate practices and integrity by Cambridge University Students' Union. The Bank is in fact featured in the association's Strategies for Success, a publication profiling some 50 companies around the world who have distinguished themselves in these areas.
"Every year, the Bank puts a great deal of effort into initiatives aimed at creating an engaging work environment that fosters employee development," explained Lynn Jeanniot, Executive Vice-President - Human Resources and Corporate Affairs. "We are extremely proud to see that these efforts are bearing fruit and that the Bank is now acknowledged as a top employer not only within Canada, but internationally."
Among the practices cited in Strategies for Success, are the transparent communication between the Bank and its employees as well as initiatives to promote diversity and encourage community involvement.
