Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland
Mr. Frank Jansen:
If one is talking about the engagement with our staff, we have an internal engagement model that has been working for us for the 40 years we have been in this market. It is a very intensive engagement process. I believe that the majority of our colleagues are very happy with how this works. We have a very active employee council. There is wide representation on the employee council representing all the parties in the different activities and departments in the bank. We talk to them on a regular basis. I have been appointed as CEO of this bank for a week now and I spoke with them last week. It is extremely important to keep a very close contact with the employee council. That is how we agree things between us, the bank and the staff. It works very well.
