APS Bank recently hosted its annual Senior Management Offsite in Gozo. This three-day event, themed “The Changing face of Corporate Culture”, explored how the evolving business, risk and technology landscapes, and the challenges and opportunities they present, require a re-thinking of corporate culture.
The offsite featured a blend of interactive workshops, discussions, and keynote presentations delivered by members of the Bank’s senior management team, and external experts including Patrick Psaila, Director and Founder of PsyPotential; David Storey, Partner, People Advisory Services at EY, and Nathan Farrugia, Managing Director of Vistage Malta and UAE and Founder of the Academy of Givers. The key focus throughout the event was the role of leadership, the importance of building resilient teams, and how a purpose-driven strategy are key to shaping the ‘APS Culture’. The event underscored the significance of maintaining a connected and inclusive culture that is firmly aligned with APS Bank’s vision, mission and values.
CEO Marcel Cassar emphasised the value of corporate culture, stating: “Our success hinges on building a culture that promotes collaboration, embraces new ideas, and is able to change. This is not about throwing out what has worked for us but about evolving. The culture of a bank that is authentic, contemporary and driven by excellence should be one that empowers people at every level to take ownership, to lead with curiosity, and to bring the best of themselves to work each day.”
