OTP BANK fills the most of the management positions with inside recruitment – head of HR
OTP BANK JSC fills most of the management vacancies with internal candidates who were able to reveal themselves and realize their professional potential, said head of HR directorate of OTP BANK Kristina Fekher during a round table organized by the "Financial Club" dedicated to the personnel situation on the market.
"Our internal employee growth programs work effectively. Almost 70% of vacancies for management positions in the head office and in the network of branches are closed thanks to employees who develop, participate in training and reveal their leadership qualities. We implement projects that allow colleagues to delve into the competencies they need, share experience with other team members, and present their achievements. For example, we have mentoring programs from top management, as well as the "Reading Club" and "OTP Cinema Club", which combine the formats of interactive discussion of books and films, think out of the box, and joint analysis of various success stories. And for the exchange of best practices within the company, we have been organizing "Demo Day" for several years in a row - an event for "product" teams that present new initiatives and solutions to all employees of the Bank”, - said K. Fekher.
According to her, OTP BANK is a financial institution with a strong team of professionals, which also gives young people without work experience an opportunity to prove themselves. "I believe that young personnel are one of the key resources. We fruitfully cooperate with 27 Ukrainian universities and twice a year attract students for practice or internship. After that, many remain working at the Bank. In the first half of 2024, we started working with 120 students, whom we will train in the coming months. Currently, there are 80 vacancies in the branch network, so we see the possibility of closing some of them through cooperation with talented young people. I can say that this approach is effective in our company," - added the HR director.
The Bank creates an environment in which employees feel protected and have the opportunity to realize themselves professionally. Personnel are encouraged to develop and career, comfortable working conditions are created, opportunities are provided to be involved in work processes. In addition, OTP BANK offers a flexible work schedule, options to work remotely or in a hybrid format, as well as other individual approaches. "We remain as flexible as possible, so people can choose the format that they consider optimally convenient and safe for organizing the working day," - Kristina Fekher.
According to the HR director of OTP BANK, this approach is effective. Employees appreciate reliability and stability, so the percentage of staff turnover is insignificant. Staff turnover for the first half of 2024 was less than 8%. At the same time, the Bank continues to actively develop various areas of activity, attract new specialists and implement initiatives that help it to be one of the leading companies in the financial market.
