Development of personnel
RBI employed 47,079 people as of 31 December 2018 (full-time equivalents). This is 2,621 people or five percent
less than on December 31, 2017. The biggest reduction (down 3,675) was attributable to the sale of the core
banking operations of Raiffeisen Bank Polska S.A. (see page 10). By contrast, Russia (up 769) and Austria (up
294) saw the biggest increases.
The average age of employees was a relatively young 37 years, and the ratio of women employed was 66
percent. The proportion of employees with university degrees was 76 percent, which indicates a very high level of
qualification.
The following graphic shows the development in the number of staff over the past five years (in full-time equivalents).
