As one of the largest employers in the banking industry in the regions of its operation, VTB continuously improves its approaches to HR management, implementing the best and most efficient practices.
The key drivers behind this headcount growth (2.6%) were the ongoing strengthening of VTB's IT sector and the implementation of the 600 Day programme, which creates cross-functional teams to develop and implement services for process digitalisation and accelerated development of the Bank's products and sales channels.
