Over 500 APS Bank employees joined the first of three Townhalls scheduled for this year. Held again online due to the restrictions still in place on large-group gatherings, the event was opened by CEO Marcel Cassar followed by an overview of the 2021 financial results announced the day before. Different staff members then provided updates ranging from the Initial Public Offering of equity securities, a review of the projects pipeline for 2022 and the product roadmap planned for the coming months. Other presentations looked into the future of work and how robotic process automation is being successfully implemented across many areas of the Bank’s operations.
The Townhall also had a slot about the ‘7 Day Challenge’ where staff can win formidable rewards when they suggest improvements that can be delivered over the span of 7 working days. Part of the meeting was dedicated to the Long Service Awards, which recognise staff members for achieving milestone anniversaries in their years of service at the Bank. And as has become customary during Townhall, the trivia session saw a staff member walk away with a lovely prize.
The Townhall ended with remarks by the Chairman, Martin Scicluna, who on behalf of the Board of Directors congratulated the team for the excellent results and expressed pride at the significant achievements made. He encouraged all staff to keep aspiring to deliver their best, also for their own sake, for their families and society in general.
