Human Resource Role
The Human Resource Department (HRD) executed its
deliverables for the year in review based on its mission
to provide exemplary human resource services to
management and staff.
In implementing its core responsibilities and satisfying
its stakeholders the HRD’s role encompassed the
following:
1. Recruiting and developing staff;
2. Encouraging a value centered highly motivated
workforce;
3. Coordinating and implementing a select cadre
of world class benefits;
4. Promoting high quality performance measured
by the overall attainment of the Bank’s mission;
and
5. Managing payroll and other staff services.
Recruitment
Particular emphasis was placed on recruitment
and selection of staff for the Bank Supervision and
Research Departments. Given the ongoing global
dynamics in these areas, this focus was necessary to
ensure that staffing levels within these departments
were optimal at all times to allow for the effective
delivery of monitoring the financial and economic
sectors of the ECCU and providing the technical input
to inform the Central Bank’s policy recommendations.
Staffing
As at 31 March 2015, the Bank’s staff complement
was two hundred and six (206).
