Grupo Santander strives to be one of best companies to work for worldwide. Over the years, we have received several awards that confirm we’re on the right track. Our success is down to the immense human talent we boast, not to mention our policies to create a working environment based on an inclusive culture. This is what it’s like to be part of Santander.

With the advent of green finance, big data, cyber security and other areas, the world of work has undergone unprecedented change. In recent years, a wealth of careers have emerged in a new landscape shaped by and large by technology. Other jobs have evolved to handle global needs and concerns. 

What’s the best part of working at Santander?

According to the diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) strategy we created in 2020, we strive every day across our entire footprint to make Santander appealing to people already on our teams or looking for work.

Many employees enjoy working at Santander for these reasons:

• Inclusive culture: This is a key component of our corporate culture and is based on meritocracy, equal opportunity and inclusion. We run numerous equality-related initiatives to raise aware awareness and bridge the gender gap both in and outside the organization. We also attach great importance to the inclusion of people with disabilities in academic and work settings. In 2024, we helped over 1,700 people with disabilities and from other vulnerable groups through our education and employability initiatives with Fundación Universia.

• Training: In 2024, we committed EUR 64 million to employee training. We offer courses on cyber security, foreign languages and other subjects. We also run local and international programmes, including Young Leaders, which seeks to sharpen the leadership skills of over 100 young people across the entire Group; and Elevate, which aims to bolster senior directors’ critical skills as they lead the Group’s transformation.
  
  
• Flexible pay schemes: On top of their fixed pay, employees can benefit from various products and services. The most popular are health insurance, pension schemes and discounts at nurseries.
  
  
• Health, security and well-being: We have a global policy with general principles to guide business units in this area. We also have such global and local initiatives as BeHealthy, a programme based on four themes: physical, emotional, social and financial well-being.
