Finance firm achieves top employer status for second year

Solihull-based BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK has been recognised as one of the top employers in the country for the second year running.

This makes the branch the fifth European division of BNP Paribas Personal Finance to achieve Top Employer status for the second year in a row, meaning the wider BNP Paribas Personal Finance group was also named a Top Employer in Europe for 2022. Only companies certified in a minimum of five European countries are awarded this special recognition.

Being named as a Top Employer by the Top Employers Institute (the global authority on recognising excellence in People Practices) showcases BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK 's dedication to a better world of work and reinforces the company 's commitment to be a role model employer.

The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of its HR Best Practices Survey. This survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics ranging from talent acquisition to wellbeing.

The topic score breakdown shared by the Top Employers Institute revealed that BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK scored 100 per cent in eight topic areas for 2022: Values, Ethics & Integrity, Business Strategy, People Strategy, Organisation & Change, Digital HR, Performance and Engagement.

Stephen Hunt (pictured), CEO at BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK said: “As a business, we are focused on always doing the right thing. Which is why we are so proud to be recognised as a role model employer by the Top Employers Institute.

“Both the internal validation we 've received through the results of our group-wide diversity and inclusion survey, and this external recognition from the Top Employers Institute, shows we are succeeding in our mission to create a supportive working environment where all of our colleagues have the opportunity to grow and progress. ”

Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink said: “Reflecting on the demanding year that has, like the year before it, impacted organisations across the world, BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK has continued to show that it prioritises maintaining excellent people practices in the workplace.

“They continue to meet the challenges of the changing world of work while working tirelessly to make a positive impact on the lives of their workforce. We are pleased to celebrate and applaud the organisations that have been certified as Top Employers in their respective countries this year. ”
