BBVA retains its spot in the ‘Top 5’ companies to work for in Argentina
BBVA has once again proven its excellence in employee satisfaction, snatching fifth place in the 2023/24 edition of Merco Talento Argentina, a prestigious ranking that evaluates companies based on their talent development, workplace culture, and leadership. This is now the fourth year running that BBVA has made the top five in Argentina.
“At BBVA, we prefer to be genuinely chosen by talent rather than just retaining talent,” explains Vanesa Bories, Head of Talent & Culture at BBVA Argentina.
With that philosophy in mind, the local franchise has designed a strategy that not only attracts the best talent but also offers real opportunities for growth and the chance to unlock their full potential.
BBVA’s employee value proposition focuses on providing opportunities for professional development, encouraging continuous learning, fostering mentorship programs, and promoting a culture of well-being that embraces diversity. According to Bories, “We believe strongly in our development model, which provides various opportunities for personal growth within the organization. This strategy ensures that we continuously update our skills set and equip our teams to face the new challenges posed by digital transformation.”
Purpose and values to attract and develop talent
BBVA attaches great importance to both technical and interpersonal skills in its recruitment processes. The bank looks for candidates who not only meet the specific requirements of the job but also demonstrate adaptability, creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to embrace lifelong learning.
“We value employees who share our corporate values, prioritize the customer, think big, and work as one team,” adds Bories.
In recent years, the relationship between employee and employer has become more holistic, with alignment with company values and purpose taking center stage. Beyond competitive compensation and recognition, BBVA employees value autonomy, performance-based work, and the opportunity for both personal and professional growth within a supportive work environment.
In a nutshell, BBVA’s approach to talent acquisition and retention is focused on fostering a strong employer brand. The bank not only attracts top talent but also fosters loyalty through its development opportunities, positive work environment, and shared values. This approach makes BBVA one of the most attractive employers in Argentina.
