Our sports and leisure club, known as HVB Club, has around 8,000<br />
members, 4,500 of whom are in Munich and 3,500 in regional<br />
branches including Hamburg, Regensburg and Nuremberg. The Club<br />
provides a range of facilities in the field of sport, wellness/fitness,<br />
and arts and culture.<br />
Strengthening commitment and values<br />
The active involvement and support of all employees is crucial to<br />
HVB’s success. UniCredit’s annual People Survey, which was carried<br />
out in October 2011, serves as an indicator of the status of the corporate<br />
culture and the satisfaction of employees <strong>with</strong> the working<br />
conditions and management. The results for HVB have improved considerably<br />
in many areas, although there is still room for enhancement<br />
in areas such as leadership and motivation. These will be addressed<br />
as part of an action plan.<br />
Our employees are called upon to meet high ethical standards. The<br />
Integrity Charter, which summarises the values of UniCredit to which<br />
all employees are bound across the entire corporate group, was<br />
drawn up <strong>with</strong> this in mind. Once again, the UniCredit Day was held in<br />
2011, highlighting examples of exemplary conduct as role models<br />
and the corporate values of UniCredit.<br />
At HVB, we also aim to promote our employees’ commitment to the<br />
public good. We do so mainly through our Corporate Volunteering<br />
Programme, which helps employees to perform voluntary work and<br />
unpaid activities by granting them special leave and making parallel<br />
donations (see also the Corporate Sustainability section).<br />
Our Gift Matching programme – employee donations are topped up<br />
by the Bank – support social concerns. In 2011, over 1,500 employees<br />
donated about €140,000. The UniCredit Foundation increased<br />
these donations by 100% and distributed them to selected non-profit<br />
organisations.<br />
Sophisticated education and development prospects<br />
For many years and regardless of the economic situation, HVB has<br />
been investing in the training and development of talented junior<br />
staff. Apprentices made up 6.3% of the workforce in the year under<br />
review. In addition to dual-track vocational training, we offer university<br />
graduates challenging development prospects under our trainee<br />
programme; we roughly matched the proportion of 1% for new<br />
graduates in the workforce achieved in 2010.<br />
Our Talent Centre is responsible for recruiting, developing and<br />
overseeing promising junior staff. HVB has a comprehensive talent<br />
management programme aimed at developing talented specialists<br />
and managers in various phases of their career. Our recruiting measures<br />
include a target university concept: graduates from international<br />
universities are specifically targeted through seminars and presentations<br />
at job fairs and informed about career prospects at HVB.<br />
Furthermore, the Talent Centre offers an international internship programme<br />
<strong>with</strong> personal mentoring for advanced students. We now<br />
also use social media to establish contact <strong>with</strong> young target groups.<br />
For instance, we are represented on Facebook by the HVB First<br />
Contact fan page. In addition, the Hypo-Bank Stiftungsfonds promotes<br />
junior academic staff in banking management.<br />
We run sophisticated continuing education and development programmes<br />
to support our employees across different skill levels and<br />
age groups. This applies particularly to young people:<br />
– Our JUMP! junior management programme aimed at young professionals<br />
offers a wide range of events, networking and mentoring<br />
offerings to participants.<br />
– In addition, HVB fosters contact <strong>with</strong> its apprentices through the<br />
First Steps project. In 2011, the top management invited all<br />
850 apprentices from the 2008–2010 intake to a discussion event<br />
which focused on issues such as improving the quality of training.<br />
– UniCredit’s UniQuest programme serves to further the careers<br />
of talented junior staff by giving them the chance to prepare for<br />
demanding tasks <strong>with</strong>in UniCredit by participating in international<br />
projects.<br />
– We promote the mobility of our people both <strong>with</strong>in HVB and<br />
throughout the corporate group. Thus, the Young Bankers Go<br />
Europe programme gives apprentices the chance to work at other<br />
UniCredit companies for a set period of time.<br />
– The JuniorTalents programme targets young employees <strong>with</strong> a specialist<br />
career path in order to further their personal and methodical<br />
expertise and to specifically promote them in their specific career.<br />
