team, employee centricity lies at the heart of each and every HR
practice at Garanti BBVA.
Managing all its activities under the heading “Talent and Culture”,
Garanti BBVA aims to create a culture that every employee will
be proud and happy to be a part of.
TALENT AND CULTURE
EMPLOYEE HEALTH
Having identified seamless service delivery to the society, its
stakeholders and customers as its primary responsibility being
Türkiye’s leading financial institution, Garanti BBVA set its top
priority as employee health, who ensure the permanence of this
responsibility, and their needs in this respect.
What We Did in 2021
Every step taken is based, first and foremost, on protecting
employee and customer health, and on managing this strategy
in a balanced fashion. The steps and measures taken are handled
under the headings of compliance with the recommendations
and policies of regulatory authorities, arrangements in physical
settings, fulfillment of employee needs, and reporting.
EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT
Currently, Garanti BBVA focuses on a talent strategy that preps,
develops and supports the employees for their next role within
a development model that aims to identify talents early in their
careers, strives to increase employee awareness of career
options and offers a personalized development plan. In this
context, the Bank pursues alignment of the “talent solutions”
practices with its fair and happiness-oriented culture that is
also molded according to employee needs and is nurtured by the
organization’s values.
The performance evaluation system at Garanti BBVA measures
employee performance depending on the extent the objectives are attained and the extent the values are enforced while doing
that. Systematic bonus and performance models are supported
by concrete and measurable criteria during the assessment,
and they serve as major and effective management tools for
achieving cost management and efficiency, while ensuring
fairness among the employees.
Aligned with the strategies of the BBVA Group and Garanti BBVA,
the performance evaluation and People Assessment process
assesses goals, values and competencies on the basis of more
objective criteria. Employees’ sustainable performances and
competency results are used as input for remuneration, career
and development.
The technical competencies defined let employees view the
degree of technical competencies expected of their roles. Thus,
they become aware of what is anticipated of them together
with behavioral competencies and pursue improvement
opportunities accordingly.
