Management Report for Financial Year 2008
Personnel: Emphasis on training and further education – Internet presence ‘Careers’
at Dresdner Bank Luxembourg S.A. – Mobility concept successful
Against the background of the growing complexity of the demands in business with our international
clients, one of the emphases in the 2008 financial year was the qualification and further education of our
employees. So, around 80% of our employees participate in further training. Therewith the bank invested
more than one million euros in training courses covering more than 200 different subjects with more
than 1,000 participants. Besides the various banking themes, which made up approximately half of the
training courses attended, also events on management and behavioural aspects were important elements.
In addition there were a further 100 participants in the continuously-running language training courses,
mainly English, French and German. We should also mention our annual training course in MS Office.
To meet our constant demand for junior management employees, we also carry out training programmes:
in 2008 six trainees completed their training programmes. At the end of the year we were training five
apprentices and preparing four newly appointed employees with basic commercial qualifications for employment
in the bank with targeted training programmes. Dresdner Bank Luxembourg S.A. is now also
presenting itself on the web as an attractive employer. Under the new heading ‘Careers’ we publish current
vacancies, entry-level and career opportunities as well as information on the possible employment of
school pupils and students within internship. The high number of hits on the website, achieved in only a
very short time, shows the high degree of interest in the content of the online career pages.
The mobility concept introduced in the previous year is showing signs of success. An increasing number
of employees use public transport for their journey to work in the meantime. The bank supports its employees
in this move to public transport by giving a generous subsidy for the cost of using trains and buses.
Quality and Innovation
Success is not simply the result of quality
and competence but rather the courage to
innovate. This is the philosophy of your
strong partner in an international terrain.
