OREANDA-NEWS. May 22, 2014. Citibank (China) Co., Ltd. ("Citi China") was named the Best Foreign Bank Employer in China and the 3rd most attractive employer among business students, according to global employer branding company Universum's China Top 100 IDEAL Employers 2014. The annual survey, conducted in China since 2003, was participated by over 51,000 university students from 103 top universities across the country last year.

Mr. William Wu, Country Manager of Universum China said, "Despite the factor that foreign banks in general are dipping in attractiveness compared to their state-owned and local peers as shown in the 2014 survey, Citi has managed to improve its position to be 3rd most attractive employer among business students this year, while keeping its crown in the foreign banks category. This is a big achievement for the company's management and employees. Everyone should be proud!"

"It's an honor to be recognized by the industry for our commitment in being a company where the best people want to work and where opportunities to develop are widely available," Andrew Au, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citi China said.

"People are our biggest asset, and we believe that the personal achievements and professional satisfaction of each individual contributes to the overall success of our company," said Yu Jin, Citi China's Country HR Officer. "This is why we invest in hours of training and development, creating programs not only for our staff to grow their career and reach their full potential, but also for students, our future leaders, to better understand the finance industry and better prepare for the workplace."

The survey, which took place between October 2013 and January 2014, was conducted by Universum in partnership with the 21st Century English Newspaper.
