The Bank of South Sudan (BoSS) has rolled out its inaugural pre-retirement training program aimed at preparing retiring staff for life after service.
According to a statement from BoSS, the initiative, coordinated by the Compensation and Benefits Division under the Directorate of Administration and Human Resources, marks a significant step in the bank’s commitment to staff welfare.
According to the BoSS, David Manyuon Nak, Director General for Administration and Human Resources, speaking during the launch on Tuesday August 19th, 2025, emphasized the bank’s dedication to its personnel beyond their years of active service.
“We conduct this pre-retirement training because we love you and we care about your life even after your retirement from the Bank of South Sudan,” Manyuon said.
The program, which will be held in two sessions, is expected to benefit 30 participants. It will be facilitated by professionals and consultants specializing in retirement planning, financial literacy, and psychosocial support.
Manyuon noted that the training would provide retirees with the necessary information and tools to navigate post-retirement life, adding that BoSS intends to retain skilled retirees through renewable contracts. “In line with its commitment to employees’ wellbeing, the Bank also offers renewable one-year employment contracts to retirees with skills of value to continue their contribution,” he announced on behalf of BoSS management.
BoSS management said the initiative is expected to set a precedent for future programs designed to improve the welfare of its workforce beyond active service.
