The terms of the deal will have the bank’s 30,000 workers by Mark 2016, and the rest of the workforce at 100,000 by the end of 2016.

He added on a personal note, “I've already been using Facebook At Work while we test it and it's been so useful - allowing me to exchange information and ideas quickly and securely with all my team on a wide range of projects."
