HSBC Operations, Services and Technology also has a significant presence in Canada. This part of our business provides operational services, IT and technical support to both the Canadian bank and to HSBC worldwide.

We look for people who are ambitious and want to develop their career and contribute to HSBC's long-term, sustainable growth. We want employees who can help us achieve our strategy, balance social, environmental and economic considerations and manage risk accordingly.

To ensure we achieve this growth in the right way, we place great emphasis on our values. We are committed to applying the highest standards throughout the bank, everywhere we do business.

We believe it is important to support employees to balance their work and personal lives. HSBC offers a bespoke approach to flexible working that enables employees to agree a work pattern that suits them, their team, the business and key stakeholders.

We also have a strong commitment to sustainability and encourage employees to participate in our community projects and other activities.

Diversity and inclusion

Diversity and inclusion is at the heart of our business. Joining HSBC will give you the opportunity to work in a collegial and supportive environment in which we seek to develop and promote you based on merit.

In Canada, we have a range of initiatives in place to support diversity. These include:

• A Valuing Diversity Council, made up of a cross-section of employees who help to develop, implement and monitor our diversity programs.
• Diversity policies, covering areas such as religious leave and workplace accommodation.
• Initiatives to increase the representation of members of Canada's Indigenous population and people with a disability within our workforce.
• HSBC Bank Canada has nine Employee Resource Groups, which contribute greatly to the success of our diversity and inclusion initiatives. These groups propose and implement inclusion strategies in support of their members, and provide feedback to the organization as a whole on employment barriers.

We provide employees with the support and information they need to perform at their best, make informed decisions about their career and take charge of their own progression based on their career interests.
