Careers need not be boring if staff are willing to try different posts
If you think working with a bank is a boring career choice, consider Mary Huen Wai-yi, Standard Chartered Bank's general manager for customer experience, consumer banking.
'I'm a good example of how the bank has good opportunities to train one individual to do many different types of work,' she said. 'This is my seventh position and I've been with Standard Chartered for 17 years.
'Most of my time was spent in consumer banking products - advertising, personal loans, mortgages, credit cards, wealth management, and now I look after distribution channels, which is customer experience.
'It goes to show how the bank can groom someone to do many different things. The bank has the belief to groom leaders, and that's why they're providing all sorts of opportunities to suit individual strengths.'
Ms Huen said pursuing such variety in a career sometimes meant taking positions which might not be in a favoured area.
