Royal Bank, which has almost 90,000 employees globally, is trying to retain talent as Canada’s labor market remains tight, with the unemployment rate dropping to a record low in April. McKay has said that the demand for top talent, especially workers with math and coding skills, is among his top concerns for the bank this year.
In addition to the midyear raises, McKay told employees that Royal Bank will consider the “unique market forces” when setting base salary pools at the end of the year. The firm also is increasing employer contributions to the Canadian Defined Contribution Pension plan over two years, starting in January 2023. The lender is enhancing its benefits in Canada for fertility, surrogacy and adoption services starting in July, and said it will explore similar offerings in other regions.
Royal Bank also is starting a paid sabbatical program for employees globally “who reach key service milestone anniversaries” with the firm, McKay said.
