ABSTRACT
Investment banking is a global, fast-moving, 24/7 business, and technology is a key enabler for maintaining a competitive edge and the continued improved performance of organisations within this sector. The bank recognised that employee retention was a challenge across the sector and the graduate training scheme was revitalised to promote talent management and employee retention. The bank is composed of five sublines of business: investment banking, commercial banking, asset and wealth management, retail banking and treasury and securities services — each with their own technology organisations. Along with benchmarking, high-quality consultancy can offer greater reflection and investigation capabilities to a project in corporate setting. Within the area of technology graduate training at XYZ, there was no structured corporate technology programme. The graduates had a degree of semi-structure in that they were provided with a number of work rotations lasting between three and six months during their training, and their final rotation was the destination of their first position of responsibility.
