In the interview with Group CFO Christoph Reich we have already gained insight into his experiences. Now we turn to the perspective of the divisionʼs employees. How do they feel their individual needs are supported and how do they contribute to the common success?
Miriam Beusch-Frainer joined LLB in January 2011 as a Compliance Officer and in the same year was promoted to Head of Group Compliance. After becoming a mother, she was able to reduce her working hours as Head of Group Financial Crime Prevention and Deputy Director of Group Legal & Compliance to 80 percent – not something that normally occurs with management positions in other companies.
“I’m convinced that commitment, resilience and passion for the issue being dealt with are the basis for success. My supervisor generously granting me the scope to structure my working time enabled me to continue my professional development. In an environment based on shared values, trust, respect and flexibilty I was able to show my loyalty to the company and turn my passion into concrete success.”
Today, Christoph Hämmerle is a Team Leader in Group Identity and Access Management. He has continued to develop his professional career since he joined LLB in October 2019.
“I have shaped my career by acting on my own initiative and on the basis of discussions with my supervisors. I started by taking advantage of training possibilities such as the LEAD programme and have been able to develop my potential since then. My career tip would be work on your own development, actively exchange ideas and experiences, and be open to new challenges.”
In Summer 2019, Kathrin Buchs, in the sixth month of her pregnancy, had her personal job interview at Bank Linth. In March 2020, fully motivated, she started her new job as an assistant to the bankʼs senior management. LLB was pleased to wait for three quarters of a year for the new mother, who now works at a family-friendy 50-percent part-time job in the Compliance Department. Kathrin is convinced that she has found an employer, who right from the start has treated her with respect and appreciation.
“Right from the start my aim was to progress with my career and to achieve added benefits both for the bank and for my personal development. In a world that is constantly changing, whether this be in terms of changes in management or corporate takeovers, I view these changes as opportunities to learn and grow. Thanks to the outstanding team and work environment, Bank Linth and LLB have helped me to reorientate professionally and to develop further. Openness, considerateness and flexibility are the key to a successful future.”
