Commenting on the importance of the RISE talent programme, Elvina Aghajanyan, Head of Human Resources, HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, said: “It’s vital as a business that we continue to offer an attractive and tailored pathway for our people, through which they can be supported and inspired in their personal and professional growth and development.
“The latest Rise Talent Programme follows on from the launch earlier this year of the Bank’s ‘Shadow Board’, which aims to develop and unlock future senior talent within the business, who will collaborate with the local Executive Committee to provide valuable perspectives, innovative solutions, and strategic guidance on a variety of organizational initiatives, with each Shadow Board cohort running for 12 months.”

The successful creation of our Shadow Board has been a key part of that strategy.
“Both initiatives are providing clear opportunities for our people to develop rewarding and impactful careers with HSBC.”
