HSBC Launches Diversity & Inclusion Initiative
HSBC Bermuda launched a new Diversity and Inclusion initiative called the Diversity Awards Programme.
The Programme is designed to recognise Bank employees who go above and beyond to advance diversity and inclusion at HSBC Bermuda or within the wider Bermuda community. All Bank employees are eligible for nomination and to nominate colleagues for the annual Diversity Awards.
“The Diversity Awards Programme is designed to encourage greater employee involvement in initiatives that support the Bank’s continuing commitment to diversity and inclusion” said Richard Moseley, HSBC Bermuda CEO and Co-Chair of the Bank’s Diversity Council, “As a global organisation, diversity and inclusion are a part of our DNA and a critical driver of our success.”
Award winners will have demonstrated a passion for diversity and inclusion and contributed to the creation and maintenance of a positive workplace environment and/or to a greater sense of inclusion and diversity within the wider Bermuda community.
“If we are to be successful as a business HSBC Bermuda must attract, develop and retain talented employees that reflect the incredible diversity in Bermuda, in the world around us and amongst our existing and prospective customers,” said Simon Des-Etages, HSBC Bermuda General Counsel and Co-Chair of the Diversity Council.
“This can only be achieved if we offer an inclusive and diverse work place where all of our employees feel they are welcome and that their diverse perspectives and insights are sought out and valued. The Diversity Awards Programme will contribute meaningfully to our efforts in this important area and we look forward to recognising the efforts of our employees.”
Any chance of this bank reducing interest rates . To hell with the mambo jumbo they’re talking about , talk about easing up peoples mortgages and making home ownership more palatable for the very average man and woman .
Couldn’t agree more with the above. They’re borrowing at less than 1 percent so do the math. Their risk loans like TP probably prevent them from giving ordinary consumer a better rate. Bigger issue is that this is no longer a bermuda bank. Their retained earnings are sent back home so bermuda is just a service center, maximizing a return. Why wouldn’t they charge the best rate they can get. Only entity that can step in is BMA and require all banks to lower rates. That would be huge bc it would give the average person with a mortgage more disposable Income hence buying power back into our struggling retail economy.
