From the Paper:

"Investing in a sustainable human resource development goes anywhere from proper wages to training programs and to different other benefits that can not only increase the retention rate for a bank, but also make it so much more competitive on the open market. It is important to use available training programs to develop the personnel, but also to have the interests of the employees in mind when making strategic decisions."
