(JUBA) – Two groups of soon to retire staff from the Bank of South Sudan have successfully completed a pre-retirement training programme organised by the Compensation and Benefits Division under the Directorate of Administration and Human Resources, in collaboration with Whitespring Management.
The sessions brought together Directors, Deputy Directors, staff and unclassified employees approaching retirement. The training aimed to prepare participants for life after their tenure at the Bank, covering a broad range of topics including pension schemes, compliance and risk management, employee financial planning, pension software deployment, consultancy support, sustainability strategies, and post retirement planning.
Madut Luer Bol, speaking on behalf of participants, expressed gratitude for the training, highlighting its value in understanding the transition to retirement and planning for life beyond the workplace.
“Never give up, you are still useful to the country,” he encouraged fellow retirees.
David Manyuon Nak, Director General for Administration and Human Resources, stated that the training had equipped staff with the knowledge and practical tools necessary to navigate retirement effectively.
He emphasised that the Bank prioritises preparing its workforce for the next stage of life, ensuring a smooth transition and financial readiness.
Catherine Kapuki Patrick, Director of Human Resources, reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to supporting employees by providing timely information and targeted training to help staff plan for retirement.
Participants were awarded certificates of completion, marking the formal conclusion of the programme and the beginning of a new chapter in their careers after serving the Bank of South Sudan.
