Case Study - HBOS plc

HBOS plc was formed in 2001 when the Halifax and the Bank of Scotland merged. The new company provides financial services for millions of people.

"At HBOS, we aim to have the best and most highly motivated workforce.

An essential part of our employment proposition is to ensure that colleagues remain confident that any promotion decisions within the organisation are competency-based, development -focused and consistently applied.

It is important that colleagues are able to recognise a culture where everyone is encouraged to develop to their full potential, irrespective of their age.

Colleague motivation and advocacy is therefore measured by our annual opinion survey, as well as a monthly tracking of views through questionnaires and telephone interviewing.

Retaining the best talent, irrespective of age, not only meets our business needs, but is consistent with our values of fairness and respect, which I believe keeps HBOS at the vanguard of leading-edge employers."

James Crosby, Chief Executive
