As part of this transformation process, a new organizational structure has been issued. Working with the various Complexes and Departments, the Human Resources Department has just completed the first phase of recruitment for positions in the new organizational structure identified by senior management as top priority. The majority of those positions have been filled through promotion and lateral movements of staff within the Bank. It is now both critical and urgent to fill the current vacant positions and the Bank has therefore embarked on a second phase of recruitment.
