HD Group
The Human Development (HD) Community of Practice was launched in October 2011. Senior Human Resources (HR) managers from GABV members meet regularly to engage in peer learning and discuss how HR can be advanced from a values-based perspective.
For the last 10 years the HD Community has advanced their work on best practices in valuesbased HR, increased awareness of the movement inside the banks with the values ambassadors programme and graduated more than 60 high-potential leaders from member banks through the GABV Leadership Academy. It has also run an online-programme with over 8,000 participants and hubs in member banks, supported the exchange of individuals between member banks, and launched workgroups on best practices in values-based HR.

During 2019 the work of the Human Development CoP focused on:
ASSESING After nine years of developing a learning infrastructure for GABV member banks, the HD Community of Practice has reached a crossroads that requires a strategic decision for its next phase. There are two main reasons for reviewing and adjusting the current status of this community: growth in the number of members and new strategic developments at the GABV. A network-wide survey was implemented to collect input from community members on the challenges and future of this community.
RECONNECTING Members of the community reconnected during an in-person meeting which took place within the framework of GABV’s 10th Anniversary events in Vancouver. During this session members shared their expectations and recommendations for the work of the Human Development Community.
BUILDING Throughout the year the group focused on building the knowledge sharing structures that will allow this community to continue contributing to the expansion of the Banking on Values movement. With this objective in mind, the community held a series of knowledge exchange sessions focusing on the topics such as learning networks, capacity building and employer branding.
IDENTIFYING Considering the feedback received throughout the year the HD Community Steering Committee engaged in a series of conversations to identify emerging opportunities and trends derived from initiatives such as the Leadership Academy and the Just Money Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) and planned activities for 2020.
