HSBC

Meet our new graduate cohort 🎓 Last week, our global onboarding programme kicked off, bringing together around 1,500 graduates for a shared induction. This is followed by business-specific training in our world-class global training facility in Nansha, China. This year’s cohort brings fresh perspectives from more than 500 universities across 19 markets, representing a wide range of different degree disciplines, from STEM to humanities, and with 60 languages between them, making them a very diverse cohort. Good luck, grads!

“Our performance reflects the progress we’re making and gives us confidence in unlocking HSBC’s full potential.” Hear more from Georges Elhedery, our Group CEO, about our second quarter and first-half earnings, announced today:

Our momentum accelerated into the second quarter and we’re executing our strategic priorities with pace, precision and discipline.   This is enabling our four businesses to focus on their core strengths, grow, work together more effectively and deepen customer relationships.   See more detail on our half-year results, released today: https://lnkd.in/e74Vn8JY

Imagine an office that’s as bold and ambitious as New York itself. Our US headquarters at The Spiral, Hudson Yards, brings together striking architecture, 13,000 sq ft of outdoor terraces, and flexible working spaces. Where would you choose to spend your workday?

From ideas to impact – we’re building a culture of innovation across the bank.   The world is changing at pace and people want banking that’s as easy and efficient to use as the tech they rely on every day.   Our digital teams share ideas and expertise to address this challenge and bring products and services to life, while using the “gift” of customer feedback to refine them as they develop.   We’re innovating, but not for innovation’s sake – we’re innovating for our customers.

Today we’ve announced plans to launch a Global AI Centre of Excellence in Singapore in the second half of this year. The centre will enable us to develop artificial intelligence capabilities that can be scaled across our global network to improve customer experiences in areas such as wealth journeys and digital payments. We plan to hire more than 100 AI specialists in Singapore and aim to build a pipeline of talent across natural language processing, data science, AI governance, and human-centred design.

Tune in as Hannah Fry - mathematician, broadcaster and author - explores the real-world impacts of AI in the latest episode in our ‘Power Up’ podcast series. “Dive in, get going, this isn’t going away,” says Hannah. “Ultimately, the earlier you can get on board and understand what’s actually going on out there, the better placed you will be.” Hannah discusses where AI adds real value – from accelerating research and analysis, to finding patterns and identifying gaps. She also explores our role as humans, and the need to be curious and keep learning new skills.
