Bank of Baroda commits to localisation

Speaking to BusinessWeek at the opening of the bank's new branch in Francistown on Wednesday, Mitra said the bank had put programmes in place to achieve localisation.
He said the Gaborone branch has a total of 20 staff only six of whom are non-locals, while in Francistown, there are four staff members only one of whom is a non-local.

 
The bank has four Batswana at supervisory level. It is in the process of recruiting two locals for managerial positions.  "We will continue to train and appoint local supervisors and managers," Mitra said. About two months ago, some of our staff returned from India where they attended job training and training in other programmes like CBS (Core Banking Solutions)."
