Work-life balance and healthcare initiatives
Our employees benefit from a range of initiatives that help them with their work-life balance. These initiatives
differ in each country, in accordance with local laws and practices.
In 2012, highlights of our healthcare and work-life balance initiatives included the following:
• Slovenia: provision of psychological counseling. Under the bank’s Family Friendly Company certification,
from August 2012 on, all employees have had access to psychological consulting relating to interpersonal
relationships in work or private life. The bank pays the cost of the first five hours per employee. The option
of psychological counseling or life coaching has been offered to address situations that need not necessarily
relate to work, but which may have an impact on motivation, commitment, interpersonal relationships and
well-being in the workplace
• Italy: a workshop on work-related stress. The initiative provides for consultation with employees
representatives for safety and colleagues from HR on assessments of work-related stress that have been
carried out in cooperation with leading scientific institutes. Following the workshop, the planning of the
training courses for work-related stress was started
• Romania: enhancing ergonomics at work. A specialist doctor provided training and a demonstration during
a visit to the head office. Instruction was offered to employees on the correct posture while working on a
computer and on the health benefits of maintaining proper posture while sitting. Additionally, instructional
documents were made available to employees on the intranet
