In today’s historically tight labor market the focus on attracting and developing top talent is a critical priority for employers. Macro-economic trends are reshaping the landscape and traditional employers are continuously adjusting to stay ahead of the curve.
At Prudential, we say “Bring Your Challenges” to our clients and recruits. We have a low voluntary attrition rate and very long average employee tenure, which pays dividends for our customers and our culture. What’s our secret We recognize that our top employees need to see a clear and promising future at Prudential for them to stay and, more importantly, to be engaged. We’re a big company that is leading the industry into new markets, so the opportunities to grow your career here are limitless.
To underscore Prudential’s focus on employee mobility we launched new Career Principles, actionable insights designed to empower employees to own their careers and serve as conversation starters for career and coaching discussions for employees at every level.
These Principles, while created through a Prudential lens, are helpful regardless of where you work:
The Principles were created as part of Prudential’s new Talent Philosophy that serves as an overall guide for key talent decisions like career development, rewards and, more broadly, the culture the company seeks to create. Culture is at the core because a vibrant and open culture that values the benefits of collaboration and leverages the unique skills and experiences of all employees is essential to achieving business success.
