  • Bank of Ghana Upholds Professional Standards with Strategic Post-Probation Review

In a strong demonstration of institutional discipline and focus on meritocracy, the Bank of Ghana has undertaken a structured post-probation staff review, resulting in the non-confirmation of appointments of some probationary staff members. The move, conducted in strict alignment with internal human resource policy, underscores the central bank’s commitment to operational excellence and performance-based retention.

NorvanReports is learning from a letter circulating on social media that the bank outlined the rationale behind the termination, indicating that the affected individuals did not meet the required benchmarks within the six-month probationary period stipulated in their contracts.

“Probation is a professional mechanism, not a formality,” a bank official told NorvanReports on condition of anonymity, “We have a responsibility to uphold the highest standards internally, just as we expect of institutions we regulate.”

The exercise, while substantial in scale, is not unusual. Under the Bank’s employment terms, all new staff are subjected to a mandatory probation period of six months, during which their performance, conduct, adaptability, and alignment with the institution’s core values are rigorously assessed, as is done in the industry and many organisations in the world.

Where performance gaps exist or expectations are not met, the bank or the institution reserves the right, under contract and policy, to withhold confirmation of employment. In accordance with policy, which is expressed and permitted by the Labour Law, affected staff receive one month’s salary in lieu of notice and are respectfully disengaged.

“This is not a downsizing or austerity measure,” the official emphasised. “It is a normal and necessary process within any credible organisation to ensure that the right talent is retained.”

For the Bank of Ghana, an institution that plays a critical role in shaping macroeconomic stability, supervising the financial sector, and restoring confidence in Ghana’s post-restructuring economy, internal credibility is essential.

The latest action speaks to a broader institutional culture that prizes integrity and performance over comfort and convenience NorvanReports understands.

A termination letter cited by NorvanReports, issued to one of the affected staff, confirms the careful and respectful tone of the exercise. Dated June 19, 2025, and the letter reads:

“Management regrets to inform you that your appointment cannot be confirmed… Your employment with the Bank will be terminated effective Monday, June 23, 2025. In accordance with the terms of your appointment and the Bank’s policies, you will be paid one (1) month’s salary in lieu of notice.”

The letter concludes with a note of appreciation:

“We thank you for the service you have rendered during your time with the Bank and wish you the very best in your future endeavours.”

Such communication reflects the bank’s high standard of procedural clarity and respect for employees.

This development reinforces the central bank’s broader effort to build a resilient institution grounded in transparency, professional ethics, and internal accountability. As Ghana navigates recovery within the framework of the IMF-supported programme, the strength and credibility of its public institutions will remain a defining factor.

In an environment where policy execution must mirror policy aspiration, the Bank of Ghana has chosen to lead by example—ensuring that its human capital reflects the same values of prudence, rigour, and excellence that it seeks to inspire across the financial system.
