I think it’ s our role in HR to provide an environment that allows for that, allows for people to talk about their ideas, to feel respected, to feel that they have a voice in the room.”
Partnerships and the power of data Running an HR function at this scale means knowing where to rely on others, and Beth is as exacting about the partners she works with as she is about her own team. Robert Walters, brought in recently to support the recruiting function, and KPMG, a longer-standing partner managing mobility and expat relocations, are both key partners on the journey and held to exactly the same standards and ambition that Beth sets internally.
“ It’ s an HR outcome,” she says.“ I take accountability for it, my team takes accountability for it, and so we all have to work together to make sure that the end user is getting the best product. Our external partners have to be able to work at the same level of quality, the same speed and delivery as my own internal team – we’ re not working in silos, we’ re all One MUFG.”
Underpinning the success of MUFG’ s HR is a genuine commitment to listening and acting. The company’ s Global Employee Survey runs annually, sent to employees worldwide, and sits alongside quarterly regional pulse surveys that offer a more granular read on what managers and teams are experiencing closer to the ground.
