If it were not for skilled and committed teams, companies would find it difficult to achieve success: a responsible business attracts the best employees and looks to contribute to their personal and professional growth. At Santander, talent management and retention is one of our key strategies. As such, we promote initiatives aimed at identifying and promoting this internal talent, such as the Young Leaders programme.
In a world that is constantly transforming – driven primarily by digitalisation – learning new skills and recycling existing ones is key to people's professional careers.

Upskilling, in particular, is the objective of Young Leaders, an initiative aimed at training young Group employees around the world and providing them with knowledge and techniques so that they can put them into practice in the working world. The professional growth of our employees has a direct impact on Santander’s present and future.
Over 200 Santander employees are currently participating in this programme globally, which has been running for 9 months. In order to further their personal and career development, employees participate in a series of initiatives and activities based on four growth pathways:
- Contribute to the Group's strategy whilst having the opportunity to work with colleagues from the various geographies.
- Increase exposure through interaction with the organisation's senior managers.
- Deal with new experiences and get out of their comfort zone.
- Promote their leadership skills, by exposing themselves to the latest business and digital transformation trends.
Since its launch in 2018, a total of 670 employees have participated in the programme, highlighting the growth that this experience has provided them.
Young Leader is a transformational experience in many respects. It's an extraordinary opportunity to deepen knowledge in innovative realities that are changing the way that business is conducted across all sectors; it opens up a space for self-knowledge and personal growth that is a fundamental pillar for leadership; and it generates a perfect environment to establish links and creates opportunities for collaboration between colleagues across all the geographies in which we operate.
In our commitment for innovation and the digital transformation of the Group, initiatives such as Young Leaders are a bridge towards developing the company's digital talent, in addition to establishing more diverse teams.
