"It is an honor and a source of pride to once again witness Standard Bank being recognized as one of the best companies to work for in the world. In particular, when it comes to our presence in Angola for over a decade, we have made a strong investment in development and training of our employees. We aim to be the best company to work for in the country and we are committed to continually improving the employee experience, to ensure that we attract the best talent and develop them, but also that we retain them", said Luís Teles, CEO of Standard Bank of Angola.
The best employers in the world are distinguished annually by Forbes in partnership with Statista, an online platform specialized in data collection and visualization, based on independent surveys carried out with employees from more than 50 countries. For this ranking, more than 300,000 employee evaluations are considered, ensuring that the process is conducted independently and anonymously.
"This recognition is a profound demonstration of the value that our 50,000 employees place on our organization. It is phenomenal to be recognized as one of the best employers in the world for the second year in a row. Especially as we have greatly improved our position compared to 2023, when we ranked 130th place," said Sim Tshabalala,CEO of Group Standard Bank.
This is the third award given, in the space of a month, to the Standard Bank Group, which in September was recognized as one of the best companies in the world, by Time magazine, and as one of the most reliable companies in the world, by Newsweek.
Founded more than 160 years ago, the Standard Bank Group is Africa's largest financial institution, whose action goes beyond the provision of banking, insurance and asset management services to individuals, companies, institutions and corporations in Africa and abroad. The sustainable, customer-centric strategy, combined with the vast reach across the African continent, is geared towards promoting a consistent positive impact on the economies and societies in which it operates, contributing to lasting growth in this region.
