Work–life balance for family, health and job
Finding a balance of work and family is not merely a buzzword
at RLB Tirol AG; it is a corporate culture that has been in practice
for a long time. Raiffeisen-Landesbank Tirol AG received the
berufundfamilie quality certificate from the Austrian federal
ministry for families and youth as early as 2011 and participated
successfully in a further audit in 2014.
Moreover, with the ‘RLB Vital – Wir bewegen uns’ (we’re
exercising) initiative, the Raiffeisen-Landesbank is making a
targeted health project available to its employees. It was the first
bank in western Austria to be awarded the Austrian quality seal
for workplace health promotion. This quality seal is awarded to
companies that have implemented health promotion measures
in accordance with the quality criteria defined by the European
BGF network.
Outstanding training organisation in Tyrol
Together with the Tyrolean Raiffeisen banks, RLB Tyrol AG
launched a major trainee initiative several years ago. On
average, the Raiffeisen-Landesbank takes on three new
trainees per year. In addition, around 15 young people per year
start apprenticeships as office management assistants within
the Raiffeisen Banking Group in Tyrol. In the training of its
apprentices, RLB Tirol AG attaches special importance to quality
and practical relevance. In 2014 the state of Tyrol, representing
the state government, the Chamber of Labour for Tyrol and the
Tyrol Chamber of Commerce, awarded RLB Tirol AG the quality
seal for providing outstanding training in Tyrol.
The Raiffeisen principle at
Raiffeisen-Landesbank Tirol AG
From the region – for the region.
This guiding principle has
shaped Tyrol’s Raiffeisen banks for more than 125 years. Raiffeisen-
Landesbank Tirol AG, too, has taken on responsibility in the state
since its foundation in 1895 and is a dependable partner for the
people in the region.
In the year under review, RLB Tirol AG’s employees and
supervisory board members were invited to configure the
Raiffeisen principle for RLB. The project commenced on 2 July
2014. All in all, 293 colleagues in 26 workshops were involved.
The guiding principles that were elaborated constituted the basis
for the working group’s condensing of the principles in further
workshops and subsequent use of them to formulate the Raiffeisen
principle applicable at Raiffeisen-Landesbank Tirol AG.
The Raiffeisen principle for RLB Tirol AG was presented as
part of a major staff event attended by more than 260 people at
the congresspark igls.
‘It was a splendid idea to have our principle formulated by the
broad base of our own colleagues rather than by external experts,
and rather than having it handed down from above,’ explained RLB
management board chairman Dr Hannes Schmid. ‘We believe in
and live our Raiffeisen principle – yesterday, today and in the future.’
Supervisory board member Josef Chodakowsky (Manager of
Raiffeisenbank St. Anton am Arlberg) underlined this as follows:
‘The concluding event is actually an opening event for realising
and living this principle in the future.’
Management board director Reinhard Mayr emphasised: ‘If we
succeed in putting the Raiffeisen principle and the associated
culture of cooperation and partnership into practice on a daily
basis, then success will surely be ours!’
The Raiffeisen principle will convey a great deal of strength to the
entire company both internally and externally. This was expressed
concisely by the evening’s star guest, Hermann Maier: ‘Everyone
has his or her strengths. We should work on them, we should
focus on them. We achieve the greatest things collectively through
cooperation!’
It is particularly symbolic that the event concluded with all those
present receiving Nordic walking sticks: the reason being that
these items of sports equipment stand for thrust and stability – for
RLB Tirol AG as much as for Raiffeisen-Bankengruppe Tirol.
