Two groups of soon-to-retire staff from the Bank of South Sudan have successfully concluded a pre-retirement training organized by the Compensation and Benefits Division under the Directorate of Administration and Human Resources, in collaboration with Whitespring Management.
Participants included Directors, Deputy Directors, staff, and unclassified employees nearing retirement.
The sessions covered a wide range of topics including an introduction to the pension scheme, awareness, compliance and risk management, employee awareness and financial planning, pension software deployment and consultancy, sustainability strategies and life after retirement.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Madut Luer Bol expressed appreciation for the training, noting that it helped him better understand the importance of retirement and how to manage life beyond the workplace. “Never give up, you are still useful to the country,” he encouraged fellow retirees.
Director General for Administration and Human Resources, David Manyuon Nak, stated that the training has equipped retirees with the knowledge and tools to effectively plan for life after their exit from the Bank.
Director of Human Resources, Catherine Kapuki Patrick, reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to supporting staff by providing timely information and training as they prepare for retirement.
Participants were awarded certificates of completion, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives after serving the Bank of South Sudan.
