Human Resources

Focus on talent promotion, staff retention and efficient personnel processes

Human Resources enables employees and promotes a culture based on trust to make both the people and the organisation successful. This creates a positive experience for candidate, which develops the learning portfolio further, supports fair compensation and increases employee commitment. Additionally, one goal is to advance the digitising within Human Resources. From the employer brand to contract design to people strategy there are numerous topics which are at the centre here.

In addition, we have bank experts in the different divisions who are responsible there as contacts for personnel topics and personnel controlling.
