Human resources development

For high-potential employees from middle management, the management development programme, a widely-respected course of studies geared to prepare students for top management functions, was further developed. Together with its new cooperation partners, the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration and the Warsaw School of Economics, Bank Austria Creditanstalt took advantage of experience with MBA programmes and focused course contents on the bank’s area of responsibility – the growth markets in CEE. On account of the high level of acceptance enjoyed by these training methods throughout the Group, the programme is used not only by Bank Austria Creditanstalt but also by HVB since 2005.
