UniCredit is proud to announce that it has been officially certified by the Top Employers Institute for the second year running for its exceptional employee offering, reaffirming the Group’s status as a great place to work.

The annual, international research undertaken by the Top Employers Institute recognises the leading employers around the world: those that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation and strive to continuously optimise employment practices. 

The European level Top Employers Certification was awarded thanks to the local Certifications achieved by UniCredit in Italy, Germany, Russia, Croatia and Bulgaria as in 2018. AO Unicredit Bank received Top Employers Certificate for the seventh time.

The Top Employers Certification is based on a thorough research process and a set of required standards. All the data was independently audited, verifying UniCredit's outstanding employee conditions and earning the Bank its spot among the select group of certified Top Employers.

The Top Employers Institute assessed UniCredit's employee offering based on the following criteria:

• Talent Strategy
• Workforce Planning
• Talent Acquisition
• On-Boarding
• Learning & Development
• Performance Management
• Leadership Development
• Career & Succession Management
• Compensation & Benefits
• Culture

"Receiving the European Top Employers Certification for the second year running shows that UniCredit continues to invest in its people, supporting their development and creating a positive working environment where all employees feel engaged and can actively add value to the Group. Our ambition is to be one of the best employers in the European financial sector and we are taking concrete actions with a focus on diversity, inclusion, respect and ethics to progress towards this goal," commented Paolo Cornetta, Head of Group Human Capital.

“UniCredit Bank attaches great importance to creating a positive working environment for its employees. Recognition as Top Employer for the seventh time in Russia confirms that we are on the right track to being among the best places to work. We conduct an annual employee survey, building on its results to become even better as an employer. In addition, we closely follow the labor market current both in Russia and abroad, to implement the most successful best practices in our Bank”, says Valentin Timakov, Head of Human Resources Department of UniCredit Bank.
