July 2016 – Euromoney magazine gave ING an award for Western Europe’s Best Digital Bank. “Unlike some banks, ING’s investments in digital banking are yielding very real results,” the magazine said. This is an accolade for the bank’s transformation towards consumer-centricity. An important enabler of this transformation is employee and leadership development.

About ING

The bank offers retail and wholesale banking services to customers in over forty countries. Two years ago, CEO Ralph Hamers announced the Think Forward strategy, which puts customer-centric innovation at the core of the business. With this plan, ING addresses significant changes impacting the banking industry; from changing customer expectations to regulatory requirements and digitalization. As acknowledged by Euromoney magazine, this strategy-led transformation is in full swing. ING is turning into the next generation digital bank, with a differentiating customer experience enabled by a streamlined organization, operational excellence and an enhanced performance culture. This transformation is propelled forward by employee development through tailored training programs.

Worldwide, ING employs over 52,000 people. To keep the transformation on track, all employees are offered relevant training and development programs. Targets are the adoption of new skills as well as the development of a new mindset and cultural change. The training curriculum is defined at a global level by the Talent & Development Community of Expertise (CoE), based at the ING HQ in Amsterdam. This CoE is led by Rob Robertson, who joined in December 2014 from Citi, and reports directly into Global Head of Talent & Learning Maaike Westerhof.

Evidence-based learning

Robertson: “In terms of Learning, the organization has seen lot of changes over the last couple of years. One thing that is consistent across business lines and local geographies is the fact that the commitment to L&D remains very high. Over the next 18 months, we will work to focus our efforts to amplify the impact of L&D on the business.” The approach is strictly evidence-based. “Believing what the industry says about learning is not good enough. We want to change what the industry says.” This means that the effectiveness and efficiency of programs and training materials will be evaluated across several levels. Robertson is closely involved in defining the programs as well as the framework for measuring effectiveness. In order to roll out a global strategy for Learning & Development, Robertson is attracting a new member to the CoE: a Senior Manager Learning & Development.
