Being a regional universal bank, the opportunities for you at CIMB are endless. The playing field is big enough for everyone and the spread of products and services will fulfill your knowledge appetite.

CIMB is a regional organisation that caters to the universal banking needs of the smallest retail customer to the largest corporations. We derive great pride from our multi-local business model which combines the scale and reach of our regional platform and our intrinsic knowledge of local markets to provide our customers with a differentiated banking experience.

ASEAN in thinking yet local in delivery, we continue to build the next generation of CIMB leaders who truly understand the rich socioeconomic, cultural and political dimensions of the region.

Work with the Region's Best Talents

At CIMB you will work with strong leaders and colleagues and some of the most astute financial minds and respected bankers in the region who create an environment where you can be your best.

While the demands on you can be high, our multi-award-winning organisation offers you prospects for a truly rewarding career where you can derive satisfaction from working alongside bright and supportive people on challenging and innovative projects.

Our employees, who come from 18 countries around the world, have diverse backgrounds, skills and experience. Their unique perspectives and ways of thinking in delivering seamless service across boundaries could translate into new insights, opportunities and experiences for you.

Dynamic and Innovation-Driven Culture

We strive to continually produce breakthrough results in an environment that is “carefrontational”. This culture of strong debate and discussion differentiates us from other organisations. It serves as a cornerstone of our success.

CIMB today is what it is because of our “carefrontational” culture. This is a culture where exceptionally talented individuals respect each other and work together to achieve excellent results, through debate and discussion but always in a caring and professional manner. In striving for innovation and customer service excellence we always place equal emphasis on high performance and integrity, never one at the expense of the other. Those who demonstrate these two traits and work hard will certainly do well.

To ensure our continued survival in this ever-changing and challenging business environment, we embrace the Blue Ocean Strategy and its creative approach towards achieving value innovation holistically in our business. It helps us to break away from the status quo and to promote the creation of new market space and innovative client solutions.

Employee Engagement

Engaged employees create success for the organisation. That is why we go to great lengths to attract, inspire and reward creativity and talent.

We believe in the importance of employee engagement as it is a key driver of productivity and performance. From getting you assimilated on your first day to accelerating your growth and recognising your contributions, we put in considerable effort and introduce various initiatives to create the right environment – one that encourages high productivity and creativity and provides our employees a sense of work-life balance and fulfilment. CIMB's engagement initiatives include:

New Staff Orientation Programme
We conduct staff orientation every two months to assist new employees in adjusting to their jobs and work environment. It helps them understand what is expected of them, and what to expect from others, in addition to learning about the values and work ethics of the organisation.

Employee Engagement and Exit Surveys
In addition to the staff orientation, we also perform online Employee Engagement Surveys every two years to gauge the commitment of our workforce. They serve as a basis for initiating improvements that may be necessary. CIMB also conducts Exit Surveys for those leaving the organisation. All these surveys enable us to measure the involvement and motivation of our employees at different stages of their careers.

Internal Communications
Internal communications is also an important area of focus for us. We promote open communication within the organisation and reach out to our 37,000 employees across the region via CIMBnet, the communication and collaborative portal for CIMB Group. Through the same platform, the Group CEO reaches out to the staff through his own “CEO's Blog” to better cascade key messages to all staff. He updates his blog every week and replies to comments posted by staff.

Regional Exposure

With operations in 18 countries and over 42,000 staff regionally, CIMB offers a truly regional and collaborative work experience. Our people work together across borders and departments and they come from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds. The different perspectives they bring make CIMB a remarkably interesting and stimulating place to work.

Career mobility within CIMB Group is one of the keys to your success and the firm's. Realising this, we take an active approach to getting the best talents in the right international roles. Through our Global Employee Mobility (GEM), designed to enrich career growth and provide international exposure for our talents, you will explore new horizons and discover challenge and fulfilment where you can pursue goals.

We are serious in growing our leaders who will accelerate the Group's vision of being ASEAN's most valued universal bank.

We ensure that employees who contribute to the achievement of business objectives of the Group are appropriately rewarded and recognised through a competitive rewards package that is well - balanced between fixed and variable compensation elements as well as benefits.

Commitment to Community

Corporate Responsibility has always been an important aspect of CIMB Group. We recognise that profits are not the only measure of value. Instead, our core philosophy of value creation is aimed at all stakeholders – employees, shareholders, customers and the communities we serve. Through CIMB Foundation, we support numerous projects in the areas of community development, sports and education.

The Three Pillars of CIMB Foundation

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT	SPORTS	EDUCATION
Community Development encompasses projects that create opportunities for communities and build capacity by providing them with the necessary resources to improve their quality of life and promote sustainable development. It encourages communities to work together to identify and solve problems, cultivate socially valuable relationships and support leadership development. The Foundation's programmes for community development include those aimed at environment, health, national unity and socio-economic development.	The Foundation supports activities related to sports development with a particular focus on efforts aimed at nurturing young talent, providing opportunities, financial support and programmes for the development of young athletes. The Foundation supports sports development and community sports initiatives in various sports including squash, rugby, cycling, badminton, golf, tennis, recreational running, and many more.	As a fundamental part of our activities, CIMB Foundation supports projects that provide learning opportunities to the younger generation. One of the main programmes under this pillar is the CIMB Regional Scholarship. The scholarship programme enables outstanding individuals from all Southeast Asian countries a chance to pursue full-time postgraduate degree programmes at top graduate schools throughout the world. Every year, a maximum of 5 scholarships are awarded to deserving individuals who can play a significant role in the development of Southeast Asia.
