Our Development Philosophy:

The Bank is committed to attracting, engaging, retaining and rewarding employees.

We want employees to be successful — at the Bank and on their career path.

We provide employees with knowledge and tools to:

• Carry out their job responsibilities
• Contribute to the Bank’s strategic goals
• Help strengthen our culture
• Expand their own possibilities

As an employee, you drive your career development and growth. Where do you want to grow? How do you want to achieve your goals? The Bank encourages the 70/20/10 model for employee development to find the right balance:

• 70% is on the job: Problem solving, taking on new tasks or leading a project
• 20% is near the job: Through relationships formed through feedback, networking, learning communities and mentoring
• 10% is off the job: Formal training, conferences, online courses and professional certification

Ready to develop? We’re ready to help!
