From 4 to 6 February 2025, an intensive bilateral exchange took place in Frankfurt between the Deutsche Bundesbank and the National Bank of Kazakhstan. 15 experts from the Bundesbank’s Directorate General Human Resources discussed a wide range of HR topics with high-ranking representatives of the National Bank of Kazakhstan, including Deputy Governor Daniyar Vagapov and Ms Sholpan Tokbergenova, Head of Human Resources. 

The three-day event was jam-packed with numerous sessions and discussion rounds on best practices in HR management. Topics included HR strategies, the development of an agile corporate culture, e-learning, professional and HR development, flexible working hours and remote working, digitalisation in HR, employer branding and strategic HR planning.

The interactive sessions provided an excellent opportunity to learn from each other, gain valuable insights and develop fresh perspectives. The positive atmosphere and intensive exchange have shown just how enriching international dialogue is in the process of evolving and optimising HR topics, emphasised Benedikt Füssel, Deputy Director General for Human Resources. There was a great degree of open-mindedness among all the participants in our three-day event. The cooperation has opened up fresh perspectives for all of us and we will certainly continue our dialogue, added Manuel Radetz, who organised the event for the Human Resources unit. Irina Schatalow and Andreas Gauf were the CIC members who managed the meeting. The very lively exchange has also continued after the seminar, both by telephone and by email, Ms Schatalow confirmed.
