We’re proud of our culture; of our ambitious and talented people, and of the way they work together to get things done. Our people are rewarded for how they deliver as a team, and for their relentless attitude to earning success for our clients.

But we don’t overlook your personal success, and the support you need to achieve it; at work, at home and in your community.

Reward and benefits
You earn success, we reward you for it. Simple. We believe in rewarding performance through your total compensation, which is made up of your fixed pay and a discretionary bonus. We regularly check salaries across the industry for every type of role to make sure we’re competitive.

When we say we’re a meritocracy, we put our money where our mouth is: your compensation is based on the results you deliver and how you deliver them. And that’s it. No fancy models, no favouritism, no free rides.

And because we’re part of Barclays, our people can benefit from employee share plans in one of the worlds largest and most respected financial institutions – sharing in our success over the long-term.

But that’s just the money. Our people also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package that supports them now and for the long-term. From healthcare to pensions, childcare to concierges, dental plans to financial advice; whatever support you need, in work or outside, the chances are we’ve got it covered.

Corporate Responsibility
We’re one of the world’s premier investment banks and we’re good at making a difference. That means we have a responsibility to make a difference to the communities in which we work as well. And, perhaps more importantly, it means that we have a responsibility to support our people in their communities, making a difference to the things that matter to them.

So whether it’s a direct donation to organisations that are solving social problems or providing our people with the time and matched-funding to make a difference locally, we take an active role in the success of our society.

Diversity and inclusion
We value our people because of what they can do, not where they’re from or how they are. Our business is global and the challenges we face are many and diverse. Individually, our people are ambitious and talented but it is only together, as a team, that we can overcome those challenges and be the best for our clients.

Diversity is about how we get the right mix of people. Inclusion is about how we make that mix work. To achieve those goals we run our business like our success depends on them – because it does.

We don’t ‘teach’ diversity. Instead, we ask our people to challenge their assumptions, learn about different perspectives and appreciate the benefits diversity can offer us.

An important part of this process is to remind people how their actions can include or exclude people in our success. At Barclays Capital, everyone is expected to work together to build a culture of inclusion.

Our employee networking groups are also helping to drive the change. Each group provides networking and development opportunities, and active community involvement.

Currently Barclays Capital has employee networking groups that focus on:

• Women
• Racial and cultural differences
• Disability
• Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues
• Working parents and families

All of our people are encouraged to participate actively in changing our business, networking events, and recruiting and mentoring activities. We incorporate diversity into mainstream training: as part of our leadership programs, networking skills, team motivation and line management courses.

And our appraisal program and other people processes are designed specifically to be inclusive.
