So I'm here with Graham Sullivan who's won the Paragon Employer of the Year.
00:06
So Barclays Island celebrated centenary year in 2022 and now you're celebrating
00:11
something else. Tell me a bit about your company.
00:14
Well listen we're one of the largest employers on the island I think we're
00:17
the largest financial institution on the island and listen for me we've got the
00:22
very best people so it's an honour to win this award but I think the fact that
00:28
you look after your colleagues, you look after your clients is the recipe for
00:31
success so this is for all of our I think it's nearly 400 people that we've
00:37
got on the platform who deserve this.
00:40
So you say nearly 400 people, one of the biggest
00:43
island's largest, one of the island's largest employers. How hard is it to keep
00:47
staff happy do you think?
00:48
Well I think we do our very best. We're very fortunate to have a
00:53
brilliant team. We put our colleagues at the heart of everything we do and then
00:58
I think Switchwood, they're very happy with us but you know the war on talent
01:03
out there is extreme right. There's a lot of competitors in the same
01:07
industry, there's a lot of transferable skills that are desirable in the market
01:11
but we've got the very best people and we're very lucky to have them.
01:14
And you say about, so you've won the Employer of the Year, how important is workplace environment for you and not just you but
01:20
just in general across the island how important is it to have to keep people happy?
01:24
Oh it's massive. Look I said it over there, I think I've worked, I've been very fortunate to work in many
01:29
jurisdictions globally in my career. I've worked in the Middle East, I've worked in
01:33
Europe, I've worked in the UK but the Isle of Man for me is where it's at. So for us to win this
01:38
award in Switchwood company is massive right and it shows we're doing something
01:43
right. So when I joined the organisation back here in the Isle of Man we
01:47
started a strategy to make the Barclays the very best place to work in the Isle
01:51
of Man and internally we're getting some good recognition for that and it's great
01:55
to see that external validation as well. It shows we're doing something right but
01:58
this is just the start. Well congratulations to you and congratulations to the rest of Barclays.
02:02
Really appreciate it, thank you.
02:05
