This recognition represents a continuation of multi-year continuity, given that NLB Bank d.d., Sarajevo has been among the Top 3 most desirable employers in Bosnia and Herzegovina for many years. The quality of relations with employees is also confirmed by the fact that NLB Bank Sarajevo holds the international TOP Employer certificate, awarded to organizations with the highest standards in human potential management, talent development, organizational culture, and employee well-being. "The Most Desirable Employer for 2025 award came shortly after we were successfully certified as a TOP Employer. For us, these recognitions represent a strong confirmation that we are building an organization where people are truly the focus. We are particularly proud of the culture of learning, openness, and mutual trust that we nurture, as well as the development opportunities available to all our employees—regardless of position or years of experience. We believe that the Bank's sustainable growth begins with the personal and professional development of each individual, and we will continue to invest in an environment where knowledge, initiative, and diversity are recognized and encouraged," stated Lidija Žigić, President of the Management Board of NLB Bank Sarajevo. The award was presented to the President of the Management Board by Mersiha Mima Mehić, Director of Alma Career BH. "According to the results of the research conducted by Alma Career BH (portal MojPosao.ba) for the Most Desirable Employer 2025, in which more than 26,000 respondents participated and over 78,000 votes were cast, NLB Bank achieved exceptional success—4th place in the overall ranking and 1st place in the financial sector. What makes this result particularly significant is the fact that NLB Bank has positioned itself among the TOP 10 most desirable employers for the first time this year, clearly speaking to the continuity and quality of the strategic approach to organizational development. Such a result is not a coincidence but a reflection of systematic work, a clear vision, and, above all, the relationship with people. This is precisely confirmed by the perception of candidates and employees, who recognize NLB Bank as a company that provides real opportunities for development and learning. In the financial sector, which is often perceived as demanding, the possibility of development makes the key difference between a good and an exceptional employer," stated Mersiha Mima Mehić. NLB Bank Sarajevo continuously invests in the professional and personal development of its employees, modern education programs, the enhancement of organizational culture, and the creation of a work environment that encourages teamwork, innovation, and responsibility. Special focus is placed on digital competencies, leadership development, and sustainable business practices. "From the perspective of human resource management, such recognitions have special value because they reflect the real experience of employees and confirm the long-term strategy focused on employee development, which yields concrete and measurable results," emphasized Amera Muftić, Director of the Human Resources and Organization Department. The Most Desirable Employer for 2025 award, along with the TOP Employer status, represents a strong incentive to continue building a work environment where people are recognized as the key value and driver of the long-term success of NLB Bank Sarajevo.
