Trainee programme
Nordea has a special focus on development of trainees. In 2007, 82 recent graduates participated in the renowned Nordea Trainee programme. The one-year trainee programme gives trainees a comprehensive view of Nordea through training seminars getting insight in the great career possibilities at Nordea.

The program has proven to be a true success as more than 90% of the almost 400 trainees recruited since 2000 have chosen to stay within Nordea. An external survey has ranked the Nordea Trainee programme as one of the best on the market.

Attracting new employees
Nordea recruits several thousand new employees each year. In the first 6 months of 2007 we welcomed 2,300 new colleagues into Nordea, half of them between the ages of 25 and 34. All new employees participate in the Nordea introduction programme to quickly become a part of Nordea. The introduction ensures that all employees have a common understanding of Nordea strategy, organisation, culture and values. The trend in the gender balance is continuously developing in the right direction. In total, we have succeeded in recruiting more men receiving a better gender balance among all employees.

Developing and retaining employees
There is a clear connection between the financial results, customer satisfaction and the satisfaction and motivation of employees. Satisfied employees perform better in all aspects, which in turn influences profitability positively. We acknowledge that people makes the difference.

Within the group there are excellent opportunities for professional and personal development in various positions and much focus is dedicated to internal recruitment related to career paths and upcoming vacant positions. We enable people to perform and grow. Close to 700 employees changed to a new position within the company during the first half of 2007.

Leadership
A full range of professional leadership training programmes, covering everything from potential managers to top executives, are offered in Nordea.

To increase the number of females in management, and especially executive positions, is a priority throughout Nordea. As a general policy, both genders should be represented among the final three candidates when recruiting for managerial and executive positions. The number of female managers has increased since 2005.
