In 2024 Danske Bank – the trading name of Northern Bank Limited – celebrates 200 years as a leading local bank supporting people, businesses and communities in Northern Ireland.

Headquartered in Belfast the Bank employs around 1,300 colleagues who have a clear purpose to guide them – helping customers, colleagues and society to thrive.

Danske Bank is committed to creating a vibrant workplace environment where every colleague can thrive at work and is supported during key life events. Colleagues play a pivotal role in delivering on its strategy, and senior leaders invest a lot of time listening to colleagues and hearing new ideas. A ‘Board 360’ series provides a valuable opportunity for the Board to engage in open and transparent conversations with colleagues at all levels of the organisation.

Danske Bank is committed to creating a collaborative culture where colleagues have a true sense of belonging, and has been recognised for leading the way on D&I both in Northern Ireland and the UK. Many colleagues contribute to driving this agenda through its affinity networks. Together with its wellbeing and colleague engagement champions, the affinity networks have helped engender a culture of openness, collaboration, and psychological safety.

The organisation continues to invest in developing future talent and building the mindset, skills and experiences needed for the future world of work, with a focus on leadership development, coaching, mentoring and ‘squiggly careers’.

And colleagues want to make a difference, which is reflected in high levels of participation in the organisations’ volunteering, sponsorships and financial education programmes.
