More Asian Development Bank staff may soon be able to look forward to working away from the office.
A new remote work policy is currently up for approval by President Takehiko Nakao, according to Ann Rennie, deputy director general of ADB’s Budget, Personnel and Management Systems Department.
In an effort to address complaints about its lack of flexibility and mobility and to better retain high-level staff, ADB is currently reforming its human resources policies as part of the bank’s 2020 Strategy internal review. The Manila-based international financial institution has been intent on communicating openly both internally and externally about the reform — and Thursday was no exception, when Rennie presented where the bank currently stands in its effort to create a “talent culture” at the 14th Annual Career Development Roundtable in Oslo, Norway.
