The Bank’s priority for 2021 was to ensure safety to employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to comply with the sanitary authorities’ recommendations arising from the epidemiological situation in the country, the Bank enabled the option of remote work to a large extent. A more detailed description can be found in section “Measures continued in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic”.
Friendly workplace
In addition to providing attractive working conditions, development and social support, Bank Millennium supports employees returning to work after a maternity/parental leave, and encourages participation in charitable activities, employee volunteerism, sports and cultural activities.

Individual approach to the form and time of work
Bank Millennium Group employees are subject to one of the following working hour schedules: fixed (the main one), shift-based, task-based or balanced. The selection of a system depends on the type, organisation and place of work and the business requirements in a specific area.
In response to an employee’s written request, their superior may set an individual work time schedule within the framework of the system applicable to that employee. Working remotely is also possible through individual arrangements. Employees may work part-time insofar as the conditions for the Group to operate in a given area facilitate that. Many employees with parental rights are taking advantage of this solution.
Employee volunteerism
The actions taken by volunteers of the Bank Millennium Group in 2021 are described in section „Charitable campaigns and employee volunteerism”.
