We wouldn't be Nedbank without our people
So, we take care of those who help us do great things, everyday, in their own way. That's our People Promise.
- What sets us apart
- Remuneration and recognition
- Career support
Why would potential employees choose to work here? And what does Nedbank offer its employees? Our People Promise is the answer to everything. United behind a common purpose and shared vision, we celebrate our diversity as what makes us unique. Even as we work in different clusters, geographies and roles, when it comes down to it, we are all first and foremost Nedbankers. And each one is the difference that impacts our world.
Flexible work practices
We offer our employees flexible working hours, and truly agile solutions aimed at helping us maintain optimal efficiency while catering to individual needs as we navigate our various environmental and personal challenges together.
Moreover, we understand that the best way to create a happy and effective working environment is to ensure that you find fulfilment in all areas of your life. Whether that's spending time with your family, pursuing a new hobby, or simply taking the time to relax and centre yourself: it’s important to us that you find the time and energy to fully enjoy and appreciate these moments.
Employee health and well-being
A balanced employee is a happy employee. That’s why we provide ample opportunity for our team to stimulate themselves – through activities, conferences, programmes, and events that are designed to bring out the best in our employees and help them learn, grow and achieve outside of their comfort zone. On any given day, we encourage new skills, new passions and a deeper appreciation for the moments that bring joy. Our Employee Well-being Programme is supported by relationships with well-being service partners, both internally and externally. These include access to free counselling to employees and their immediate families through the independent services provider ICAS, as well as mental and financial wellness and healthy-lifestyle management support.
Strength in diversity
In all that we do, we strive to be a great place to work and a great place to bank for everyone.
Gender equity in the workplace
At Nedbank, we understand the importance of facilitating and accelerating the continued growth of women, and not just in the workplace. With gender equality being a global priority, we have found that supporting young girls in their education and career choices can be a catalyst for their personal development, independence and peace.
Our workforce is 62% female, with representation across all occupational levels. In 2019 Nedbank was even recognised as the winner of the Gender Equity Employer Award by the South African Board for People Practices. Our intent is not only to give women every opportunity to grow their careers within Nedbank, but also to set them up for perpetual success in every sphere of life.
Inclusive in every way
As true believers in diversity and inclusion, we continue to respond to the challenges faced by marginalised groups in the workplace and society at large. Through multiple programmes and initiatives, we’ve taken steps to ensure that each of our employees feels equally valued, heard and welcome on a daily basis.
Nedbank officially launched a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+) forum in 2019, created with the sole purpose of helping our employees embrace their authentic selves. Since its launch, the forum has held various activations and will continue to focus on raising awareness and increasing understanding to leverage the power of diversity.
Equal empowerment, diverse abilities
Our Nedbank Disability Forum and Disability Desk champions are fully committed to promoting the inclusion and accommodation of both internal and external people with disabilities. As part of our ongoing effort to enable and support growth and development for all who need it, we as an organisation make every effort to assure the representation and reasonable accommodation of persons with disabilities within our workforce.
In our world, different really is good
A future-focused mindset
We live in a fast-paced world, where everything you know can change in an instant and without a single warning. To be prepared for any eventuality, it is prudent for each of us to remember that our own growth and development are not only a lifelong journey, but also a choice that is within our reach.
Having a growth mindset speaks directly to Nedbank’s learning philosophy. So, we go the extra mile to support you as an individual in your learning, growing, and adaptation to change as we continue to seek change for good and become the difference that impacts our lives, together.

Not only do we pay them salaries that are well in line with the market, but we also offer them multiple opportunities to make their money and time go even further.

Rewarding high performers
Our recognition programme is our way of celebrating people and teams who are committed to being the difference that impacts our world.
In line with our People Promise, we aim to encourange, energise and inspire a culture of reaching for new heights in all that we do.
Here are just some of the recognition categories we hold in great esteem:
Making a purpose-driven impact
Our purpose-led recognition programme showcases colleagues who live our purpose with passion and are a force for good for Nedbank and our broader stakeholders and environment. This award is to recognise colleagues who use their financial expertise to do good for individuals, families, businesses and society while they enable dreams with expertise and care through their daily actions.
Going the distance makes the difference
The service excellence badge is to recognise our employees who put our clients first, always. Our teams award this badge to a colleague who has gone the distance and delivered service excellence with purpose in every action and interaction with a client.
Growth and development
Your potential is our impact. The growth and development award recognises our employees who grow to know more and be more. They are adaptable, flexible, and open to new ways of being and doing.
They understand that they continuously grow and develop to ensure current and future personal, professional, and business success.
We never stop developing ourselves. We bring our potential to life by making the most of every learning opportunity and facing challenges with courage. We believe the growth of our people is paramount if we are to grow the difference we make in this world. That's why Nedbank invested more than R700 million in people development in 2019 alone.
Here's how we'll set you up for success
Worldclass training
Deeply entrenched in our commitment to use our financial expertise to do good, and with the understanding that it takes well-trained people to achieve optimal results, we take the growth and development of each employee seriously. Nedbank can help you grow by:
- enabling career mobility
- awarding internal bursaries for your future qualifications
- supporting youth talent through learnerships and internships
- giving you access to a range of digital learning courses
- helping you with your development planning
- guiding your career and development assessments.
Bursaries
In our journey of building Africa’s most admired bank by employees, clients, shareholders, investors and communities, Nedbank continues to create a learning organisation to support its employees’ development through the Internal Bursary Fund.
Nedbank employees are offered the opportunity to apply for bursaries to get them to full performance, preparing them for broader or more complex roles and fostering continuous learning.
Technology in the workplace
Not only do we place focus on providing our clients with innovative products – we also offer these to our employees too. Our team is given access to a range of helpful digital tools to ensure that their day-to-day is more progressive and productive than ever.
From our intranet, our employees have access to digital channels for each and every step of their journey, from HR-related enquiries to e-learning courses. Our team is encouraged to continue their growth by making use of online assessments and take care of themselves through our Well-being Hub – not to mention immediate access to all of Nedbank’s products – all in a few easy clicks.
Connected and collaborative
We are proud to note that the many collaborative platforms we have provided for our frontline employees, business, IT, research and development, digital design, and other functions are continuing to pay off through maintaining efficiency in our daily operations, even as many of us are currently working remotely from our homes.
As new technologies and opportunities continue to emerge, Nedbank will adapt and engage with new developments to ensure we continue to be at the forefront of innovation in our industry.
Join the workplace that delivers with impact At Nedbank, we grow our people and our business to create the impact we want to see.
