Riksbank chosen as employer branding organisation of the year 2011
The company Universum has chosen the Riksbank as employer branding organisation of the year 2011 in the category Young Professionals. The other nominees were IKEA, Systembolaget and Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority). On Wednesday evening, Maria Wahl, Head of the Personnel Division, was presented with a diploma and flowers at an awards ceremony.
For many years, the Riksbank has worked on strengthening the brand "the Riksbank as a workplace" to recruit competent staff and retain present staff.
"It feels great to have now received this distinction. It shows that our work on highlighting the Riksbank as an exciting workplace has been a success. A lot of us have worked on this and can share in the credit," said Maria Wahl.
