Proposal on Human Resource activities of Standard Charted Bank

Human Resource activities of Standard Charted Bank

1.0 Background

Background of the organization:

Standard Chartered is the world’s leading emerging markets bank. It employs 30,000 people in more than 500 offices and more than 50 countries in the Asia Pacific Region, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. The Bank serves both consumer and wholesale banking customers. Its consumer bank provides credit cards, personal loans, mortgages, deposit-taking activity and wealth management services to individuals and medium-sized businesses. Its wholesale bank provides services to multinational, regional and domestic corporate and institutional clients in trade finance, cash management, custody, lending, foreign exchange, interest rate management and debt capital markets. With nearly 150 years in the emerging markets, the bank has unmatched knowledge and understanding of its customers in its markets.
Standard Chartered needed a way to move its commercial banking services onto the Internet. It has traditionally supplied large customers with proprietary workstations and virtual private networks. With the rise of the Internet, Standard Chartered wanted to free customers to use any PC equipped with a Web browser and smart card reader to conduct their banking business. This approach would lower ownership costs for customers, expand their options and reduce costs for the bank as well. Perhaps most importantly, moving these banking services to the Internet also would introduce customers early to the emerging world of secure B2B Internet commerce.
