The banking industry has experienced a record high turnover rate in the last three years. What can management do to retain their top talents? There is no easy answer, but let’s think for a moment from the perspective of your staff members; would you stay in a company in which if you were given a chance to run the business as you wish?

Among 14,475* full-time employees are 400 Talents identified as a result of their contribution, job performance, and recommendations from immediate superiors. In late 2011, we worked with BOCHK to launch a series of innovative training programs to the “cream off the top”. 40 Talents were identified from the talent pool, representing 10% of the talent pool and 0.28% of the workforce to go through a project-based learning program as shown in the diagram below.
