How will you deal with the coming wave of pensions? What will help close existing gaps in staffing due to labor shortages? Oberbank took the initiative and also recruited its own workforce. In the spotlight: part-time workers.
Franz Gasselsberger has made the personnel issue a top priority in order to be able to decide the game in favor of the Oberbank in times of demographic changes and therefore a more competitive labor market. At the same time, we also started working with our own part-time employees.
700 employees addressed
During an event under the motto ‘Every hour counts’, the financial institution asked around 700 employees if they wanted to increase their weekly working hours. Successfully.
Gasselsberger recently revealed: “Contrary to the widespread view that people don’t want to work anymore, almost overnight we saw an incredible willingness for many colleagues to want to work more.” – Attention to time work – especially with regard to poverty in old age.
Hours equivalent to 40 full-time employees were saved. This step is accompanied by measures for employees: If the number says ‘yes’ to the increase, Oberbank guarantees flexibility and more leave for care. There is also a trial period.
