HSBC
Employee Benefits
Executive Summary
In today’s fast paced competitive business environment, banks who wish to attract, retain, and engage highly qualified employees must ensure that their employee benefit plan is at best comparable to industrystandards. While cost can be exorbitant, it’s crucial to recognize keeping abreast of industry trends and redefining benefit plans to meet employee needs will enable organizations to maintain a competitive advantage.
Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) is one of the leading banking and financial services institutions in theworld head-quartered in Canary Wharf, London. HSBC provides an impressive and comprehensive range of financial services to around 100 million customers globally through four customer groups and global businesses: Personal Financial Services (including consumer services), Commercial Banking; Global Banking and Markets; and Global Private Banking. Since its conception over a century ago, HSBC hashad one central focus: a local bank serving local needs. Given HSBC strengths as a multinational company who has been in existence for over a century as a leader in the banking industry it’s imperative that they offer competitive benefit package in order to keep a competitive advantage. We will examine their organizational background, current benefits information, and provide recommendation basedon two scenarios:
1. An anticipated 20% reduction in revenues next year, with a desire to maintain current staffing levels in hopes of an economic turnaround.
2. The company expects a large revenue growth next year, and can afford to add enhancement benefits.
Organizational Background
