Donald Khumalo says this achievement is a great testament to FNB’s brand value and employees.
FNB has been voted as the best employer brand on LinkedIn for above 500 employees in the 2021 LinkedIn Talent Awards.
The 2021 LinkedIn Talent Awards recognise companies worldwide that have demonstrated remarkable adaptability, innovation, and creativity in the talent space.
Donald Khumalo, FNB’s HR executive, said “We are excited to be voted as one of South Africa’s best employer brands on LinkedIn. This achievement is a great testament to our brand value and employees. The pandemic has been a challenge for every organisation, but with our platform and digital technologies we were able to provide a productive and rewarding work environment for our people across the business.”
Donald added: “LinkedIn is a platform that has provided us with the opportunity to connect and network with new and existing candidates. To expedite our bold fintech and platform-related aspirations in banking, insurance, investments, and telecommunications, we embarked on a recruitment campaign to recruit 300 additional experts with engineering, technology, data and quant skills to supplement our existing cohort of more than 5,000 equivalent skills.
“We are truly honoured to be recognised as Best Employer Brand on LinkedIn this year. This achievement not only highlights our commitment to our employees but also signals our investment in building and growing top talent in South Africa.
“Our people are the heartbeat of our organisation and they remain core to building life-changing financial services and fintech solutions for our customers,” he concluded.
