Social Aspects of Sustainability

Deutsche Bank as an Employer

 

Even amidst the turbulence in global financial markets, Deutsche Bank remains a reliable and stable employer. Our highly motivated, qualified people continue to be the foundation of our stability and global success. We constantly welcome the challenge to motivate and encourage them – from day one through to their retirement. We aim to be the “employer of choice” for both our existing and potential staff. 


Deutsche Bank employs more than 78,000 people from 140 countries at its locations in 70 countries. We recognize the impact of cultural diversity on international success and encourage individuality among our staff. An unwavering commitment to equal opportunity is one of our fundamental principles as it is only by overcoming barriers, both real and imagined, that diversity can be achieved.

Securing talent
Talente sichern

Despite market conditions, the battle for talent continues. Deutsche Bank aims to make every possible effort to enhance its attractiveness as an employer. Considerable success has been shown in the position in the 2008 rankings, e.g. 7th place in the “Universum German Graduate Survey 2008” (2006: 12th). 

 

Staff training
Mitarbeiter fördern

Comprehensive training and education opportunities are fundamental to Deutsche Bank. Our “db Learn” electronic training platform offers 3,630 seminars and 320 online training courses.

 

Individual career development
Karriere

Personal career development continues to be an important component of our successful work in Human Resources. Our approach to personal career development is based on the so-called “70-20-10 rule.” Under this rule, 70 percent is on development at the workplace. Coaching, mentoring, learning from colleagues, and receiving help and support from managers account for a further 20 percent. The remaining 10 percent consists of traditional learning based on continuing education, training courses, and seminars.

Optimizing work-life balance
WLB

Deutsche Bank offers employees a spectrum of tools and options to help them organize their worktime as flexibly as possible. A key challenge is the rapid return to work after a child’s birth. To improve the reintegration process still further, we have launched a global initiative and drawn up a package of measures. At an early stage, we review any issues related to the return of employees from parental leave and implement necessary measures.

Committed to diversity
Vielfalt

Deutsche Bank’s commitment to diversity dates back to 1999. Our objective is to create an attractive, tolerant, and motivating working environment for all employees, irrespective of age, gender, religion, ethnic origin, sexual identity, or disability.

 

Maintaining employability
Beschäftigung

We launched our program “Staying Fit for the Job” (“In eigener Sache – fit in die berufliche Zukunft”) in 2006 to help our employees enhance and maintain their employability. Moreover, Deutsche Bank took a lead role in developing the non-profit initiative “Getting Young People Fit for Their Future Careers.”

Rewarding performance
Leistung

Deutsche Bank employees are highly motivated and dedicated. We acknowledge their commitment through a competitive, attractive salary.

Supporting pension plans
Altersvorsorge

In view of ongoing demographic changes and other factors, company pension plans are taking on an ever greater role in securing income during retirement. Accordingly, Deutsche Bank offers employees in Germany attractive pension funding.


Building Social Capital

Our goal as a responsible corporate citizen is to create social capital.
