22 Specialist Safety Technicians visit the Bank’s units, where they oversee the implementation of health and safety procedures, instruct unit managers, and discuss the necessary work safety measures with the staff. In order to ensure optimal working conditions and the effective implementation of occupational hazard prevention, the Bank has appointed Safety Coordinators in every unit, responsible for providing assistance to the Safety Technicians. Occupational Physicians pay regular visits to the units, examining employees and compiling their personal medical records, which are kept in electronic form at the Bank’s medical centre. They also provide preventive medicine advice, during privately held sessions.

Internal Communication Consistent, direct and multidirectional internal communication is a top priority for the Bank. To this end, it seeks continuous, real and interactive communication, which enhances trust and enables the establishment of a unified culture that recognizes personal competence, effort and contribution while promoting teamwork. During the year, the Bank focused on the expansion of interactive communication channels between employees and the management, in order to forge even stronger bonds, improve co-operation among units, and capitalize on the merits of creative dialogue. Many long-term initiatives have been launched. Some examples are the following: Intranet Site: The site is constantly improved and upgraded during 2007, in order to provide a lively and interactive means of communication that fosters the provision of effective and direct information about events within the Bank. Eurobanker: A quarterly variety publication that, apart from dealing with banking issues, enables employees to voice their opinions, provides information about the activities, initiatives and overall social contribution of the Bank and offers preventive medical advice, raising, at the same time, employee awareness on social issues. Breakfast with the Management: A small number of employees, randomly selected from all hierarchical grades and units of the Bank, is given the opportunity to discuss professional issues with the Chief Executive Officer and the Deputy CEOs, with no predetermined agenda. Recognition Program: An annual reward and recognition program for employees who have consistently had a major contribution to the Bank’s growth. Academic Performance Awards: The Bank rewards excellence and supports progress, through a series of institutional measures. More specifically, the Bank bestows a symbolic financial prize to employee children that excel at all educational levels, as well as to employees that achieve academic distinction. Moreover, top university graduates are granted a symbolic financial prize, along with the opportunity to pursue a professional career with Eurobank EFG. Similar financial support is provided to top university graduates, who continue with postgraduate studies in Greece or abroad. Annual Staff Events: Each year the Bank holds events that are attended by all Group employees and their families, giving everyone the opportunity to get more closely acquainted, and entertain themselves, away from the workplace.
