City Summer Camps at Standard Chartered Poland

Once again, summer at Standard Chartered was filled with children’s laughter and colourful adventures. We celebrated the fifth edition of summer half-camps for the children of our employees (ninth overall, including also winter camps). Over a hundred children, registered by nearly 80 parents, took part in the 2025 summer activities.

This summer, we held three week-long sessions, each of which included creativity-building projects, themed workshops and sports activities. The themes of this year’s day camps were colourful adventures and fantastic creatures. What makes this initiative unique is its co-financing model, with costs shared between the employer and parents.

Since its launch in 2021, the programme has enjoyed growing popularity and provides real support to parents, who can more easily balance their professional responsibilities with childcare during the summer holidays.

City camps are part of a broader policy of supporting employees and their families at Standard Chartered. We offer, among other things, flexibility in shaping the place and time of work, an equal number of days of leave regardless of seniority, full pay for 33 days a year on sick leave, the option to add a family member to insurance and benefits packages, regardless of the formal status of the relationship, and grassroots initiatives such as the Parents’ Club, which create a coherent system for building a parent-friendly workplace.

What’s more, in 2025, Standard Chartered was awarded the title of a ‘Parent-Friendly Workplace’ in the Sukces Pisany Szminką competition. Support for parents and families is a permanent and indispensable part of our organisational culture.
