The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will come up with a policy on Work from anywhere for its staff as part of its agenda for FY23, to ensure a seamless work environment as part of business continuity planning.
Additionally, the central bank will also set up an employee assistance programme on wellness-related matters. The RBI’s sub-committee on human resource management was its only committee or sub-committee that did not meet at all in FY22. It had met twice in the previous financial year.
After the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the RBI was forced to take quick action to ensure it could carry out its key responsibilities, including continuity in banking, financial market, and payment systems operations. As of March 31, 98 percent of the RBI’s 12,782 staff members were fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The RBI set up a special quarantine facility for around 250 staff and service providers as well as an arrangement with Apollo Hospitals for hotel rooms in certain cities to act as quarantine centres for COVID-19 cases.
