Our Culture

The Barclays’s culture puts emphasis on teamwork and a collaborative approach.  As a meritocracy, the firm recognizes and rewards talent and innovation, while encouraging training and development among its staff.  Barclays applies an intellectual rigour to its strategy and day-to-day management, questioning each decision on the basis of its value to clients and shareholders.
The firm’s culture is expressed through five values:
 
Respect
We respect and value those we work with, and the contribution that they make.

  • Build trust with the colleagues and partners we work with
  • Seek out alternative perspectives and put our shared interests ahead of any individual or team
  • Collaborate proactively with colleagues across all of Barclays to get the best results
  • Embrace, and seek to increase, the diversity of our organisation.

Integrity
We act fairly, ethically and openly in all we do.

  • Show the courage to do and say the right thing
  • Act in private as I do in public, and honour my commitments
  • Challenge things I believe to be wrong and be open to challenge from others
  • Be accountable for failure as well as success, and not allocate blame.

Service
We put our clients and customers at the centre of what we do.

  • Take the time to understand clients’ and customers’ needs, regardless of my role
  • Always strive to surpass clients’ and customers’ expectations
  • Create and provide solutions for clients and customers that balance the short and long term
  • In serving my clients and customers, incorporate the perspectives of all our stakeholders.

Excellence
We use our energy, skills and resources to deliver the best, sustainable results.

  • Aim for flawless delivery and learn from my mistakes
  • Take pride in both my own work and that of the team
  • Actively contribute to the performance, development and engagement of my colleagues
  • Create the environment to attract and keep the best people who share our values

 Stewardship
We are passionate about leaving things better than we found them.

  • Pioneer innovative and better ways to do things
  • Protect and enhance our reputation and legacy at all times
  • Find ways to positively impact all of the communities we interact with
  • Value sustainable progress as much as immediate achievements
