Deutsche Bank 1 - Historische Gesellschaft der Deutschen Bank e.V.

The training of staff in more senior positions concen-
trated mainly on relations to junior staff. It also included
seminars on questions concerning economic and social
policy, rhetoric and argument techniques and other as-
pects of management. A total of 1,285 senior executives
participated in these Programmes, all of which were
held in the Kronberg training centre.
7,302 members of staff attended courses providiiig
specialised further training in the various sectors of
business. These courses were held increasingly at a re-
gional level. This was also the case with the sales traiii-
ing which is a standard component of our Programme.
3,763 members of staff participated in it.
Last year a total number of 12,350 rnembers of staff
received training in 676 seminars. In addition, the Staff
Council for the whole bank held 11 serninars in our train-
ing centres at which 236 mernbers of the Staff Councils
were informed about topical questions concerning la-
bour relations.
Training is not an end in itself: it is tailored to meet
the requirements of our practical business. This also
means there is a close relationship between our training
work and staff planning. The results of our staff planning
allow us to check and adapt our training activities con-
tinuously.
Training during the year under review cost about DM
40 m., which was equivalent to 3% of total expenditure
on staff. The greater part, about DM 26 rn., was devoted
to the training of apprentices.
Thanks to all the staff
The perforrnance we achieved through our joint ef-
forts in the 1974 business year are apparent from this
Report. We express our thanks to all the members of
staff for their contribution. We are grateful to the mem-
bers of the Staff Councils, the Staff Council of the whole
bank and the Economic Committee for their practical
and reliable cooperation.
