At State Bank of India, we recognise that our employees are the cornerstone of our growth and success. As we move towards achieving new milestones in our growth story, we count on the unwavering dedication and commitment of our employees. To support this momentum, we continuously invest in them, thereby empowering them to reach new goals.

Additionally, it goes beyond the routine and encompasses all aspects of people management by building a positive work culture for realising our business goals. In a fast-changing business environment, the HR management continuously aligns its strategies with the increasing aspirations of the workforce to increase efficiency and promote a participative work culture in the organisation.

During the year, we implemented various measures to train and develop our employees so that they can cater to our customers’ needs, thereby contributing to the rganisation’s success. During the extraordinary circumstances of FY2021, we utilised the pandemic caused limitations as an opportunity to drive user ease through online learning; promote pull mode of learning; teach new skills and broaden the knowledge horizon of our workforce. In addition, our strong team of over 475 in-house educators and banking experts executed innovative measures at the 6 Apex Training Institutes (ATIs) and 51 Regional Institutes (SBILDs) to train and upskill our employees via online methods. Furthermore, to provide constant learning support despite restrictions on mobility, a robust virtual learning system, which is capable of connecting the manifold functionaries and providing a deep understanding of contemporary circumstances, was also put in place.
