La competencia por el talento se ha convertido en una de las grandes batallas en el mundo empresarial. El entorno aún más volátil que quedó tras la pandemia, con el fenómeno de la Gran Resignación como telón de fondo, ha tenido réplicas de la mano de nuevos entrantes digitales, la aparición de puestos de trabajo inimaginables hace algunos años y en general un cambio de paradigma en la relación empleador-empleado.   En este escenario, la fortaleza y reconocimiento de la marca son atributos clave para la captación y retención de #talento. Pero no los únicos. La ecuación incluye otras variables, como la #cultura empresarial, las condiciones laborales, la retribución, el talento de la plantilla existente, el plan de carrera, la formación interna y un largo etcétera.   Es un tema que cuidamos mucho en Santander y que nos posiciona como una marca empleadora de referencia. Un buen ejemplo es el Graduate Programme y el Summer Internship Programme que todos los años lanzamos en nuestro negocio de Santander Corporate & Investment Banking y que recibe de media más de 25.000 candidaturas de todo el mundo para apenas 300 plazas (https://lnkd.in/dp8izgfm). Antes de ayer estuve precisamente reunido con uno de los participantes en este programa, Jaime Calderón, que me decía lo interesante que le ha resultado este programa, lo que ha aprendido, los buenos compañeros que ha encontrado y lo atractivo que le resulta el banco como mejor lugar para trabajar.   La presencia global de Santander es un aspecto muy valorado porque nos permite centralizar las ofertas de empleo y ampliar nuestra ambición de nuevo talento a prácticamente cualquier país del mundo. Lo hemos visto recientemente con dos plazas abiertas en nuestro Servicio de Estudios, a las que han aplicado más de 500 profesionales. O con el talento tecnológico, tan demandado ahora y que centralizamos a través de la plataforma Be tech!, que sólo en 2023 nos permitió incorporar más de 4.500 perfiles digitales (https://lnkd.in/d_qNkKGq).

🐟 In 2008, the JC Mackintosh family turned their fishing hobby into a business, using ancient Phoenician techniques refined into sustainable practices. Their dedication to eco-friendly fishing and superb quality wild bluefin tuna, harvested off the coast of Cadiz, earned them Banco Santander's "SME of the Year" for Cadiz in 2023. This family-owned business continues to set the standard for responsible fishing and exceptional seafood. Their story is part of the Allí donde estés ("Wherever you are") initiative, which brings together Santander customers who share a vision of progress and showcases how the bank has helped them realise their business dreams. These real-life stories highlight SMEs, entrepreneurs, farmers, and many more, celebrating their journeys and successes. 🔗 Discover JC Mackintosh's full story and explore other businesses here: https://lnkd.in/de-FW6Pk #AllíDondeEstés #InspiringStories
