Throughout this project, the C-suite served as its advocates and supporters guarantee full alignment with other business requirements.

Santander introduced an upskilling as well as reskilling strategy to grow the needed skill sets and other important capacities while triggering strategic initiatives in Human Resources to bridge the gaps.
