Absa confirms voluntary separation scheme

Mmegi: Could you kindly confirm if it is indeed true that Absa Bank Botswana Limited has announced the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) to its employees which is planned to be effected end of this month?

Absa: Our people are our strength and we are committed to providing an enabling environment that helps bring possibilities to life.  After careful consideration, we have acceded to requests from some of our colleagues and embarked on a voluntary separation scheme exercise effective early March 2020. We trust, value and grow our people to achieve their full potential and this initiative comes as a result of listening to our colleagues.
