OREANDA-NEWS. February 19, 2016. The Top Employers Institute has awarded the BNP Paribas Group the “Top Employers Europe 2016” and “Top Employers France 2016” certification for the third consecutive year.

This European label is awarded locally in a total of seven countries.  This year, Luxembourg and Spain joined Belgium, France, Italy, Poland and Turkey, with national certification being awarded in each of these countries. The “Top Employers” certification is awarded to organisations that have successfully implemented the highest standards of excellence in terms of working conditions, team cohesion, working environment and people development. Particularly worthy of note is that 83% of the Group’s employees are proud to work at BNP Paribas. The “Top Employers” award helps employers to stand out in the jobs market.

In 2015, BNP Paribas recruited nearly 20,000 new employees globally. In France alone, the Group hired around 3,000 people on permanent contracts. These recruitment objectives, both globally and in France, have been renewed in 2016.
