Bob Wigley, Chairman of Merrill Lynch EMEA, said 'I'm delighted colleagues who work at Merrill Lynch have voted our firm the Best Place to Work in the Global Financial Markets. In today's world, the true differentiating factor in the marketplace is the quality of our people, and so the importance of attracting and retaining the best talent has never been greater. That means recognising and embracing talent in all its forms. Diversity is key, and at Merrill Lynch we emphasize a meritocratic, fully-inclusive organisation - a culture in which every individual has an equal opportunity for contribution and development'.
