In December, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from the talente.programm by Technische Universität Wien here at Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The young talents demonstrated their skills in a #cloud case and got to know our most wanted IT profiles. There was a good laugh at the beer o'clock afterwards, with our professionals rehashing stories from their own student days. It's always nice to see when our employees act as role models and establish a very special relationship with the students.

The TU talente.programm is a special occasion for us to join forces with Raiffeisen Informatik, Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien AG, and bat-groupware – it was a blast working together!

We successfully closed our newly designed Learning Journeys with the last workshops. The journeys covered strategic topics of Raiffeisen Bank International AG such as #ESG, #Agile, #Data, #Leadership, and #Entrepreneurship. It was amazing to see the development of our participants who demonstrated an impressive #growth over the last year. Their enthusiasm and learning was inspiring!

 
Congratulations to the participants for the successful closing of the Learning Journeys! 👏

At this year’s Agile Engineering Days, Raiffeisen Bank International AG’s internal engineering conference, two guest speakers inspired the bank’s engineering community with hot topics from the #DevOps universe.
 

 Jessica Joy Kerr from Honeycomb.io spoke about how to manage complex systems in production while Moira Cheng from the Vodafone Group shared the challenges of the engineering #transformation at Vodafone Group with the audience.
 

Moreover, the crowd shared their experiences about User Interface A/B testing, the right way to collect engineering metrics, event driven architecture in our banking systems and web-based development environments. The conference is an important part of RBI’s transformation to modern software engineering.

Twenty-four participants in the second edition of the WEMP - Women EMPowerment journey for Ops & IT ladies – received training vouchers for further personality development training and coaching. During the last months they had the opportunity to drive their own individual learning needs based on #INNERSELF #OUTERSELF #VISIBILITY and #NETWORKING.
 

 In our regular sessions we invited special guests like  Anita Kovacic CEO RBKO, or Julia Zotter General Manager at Zotter Organic Chocolate Shanghai Ltd. to hear more about their experiences, how they overcame hurdles and obstacles and why they did their way out of comfort zone.

On 27 June, the Raiffeisen Bank International AG's first Agile Demo Day of 2022 was all about #customerexperience. The hybrid setting allowed at least a little audience to join on-site and several hundred joined virtually.

Two product demos with the titles „How the right approach helped us build a valuable product” and “Building "lego-like" websites for RBI Group ensuring brand consistency and time-to-market” as well as a panel discussion featuring our CEO Johann Strobl and experts on the topic of customer experience.

Raiffeisen Bank International AG says THANK YOU to its corporate #volunteers who are involved in various projects.

For example the 45 volunteers of our Stepic CEE Charity, who supported more than 3,500 beneficiaries across the #CEE region in 2022. This year, exceptional work was done helping displaced children, families and colleagues through emergency relief efforts in #Ukraine, its neighboring countries and in #Austria.

As the Stepic CEE Charity is supported by Raiffeisen Bank International's Corporate Volunteering Program, administrative costs can be kept as low as possible so that almost all donations reach the beneficiaries.
