The Co-operative Bank of Kenya hired 1,104 new employees during the year ended last December, as it sought to plug workforce gaps following staff exits, as well as enhance capacity following the opening of 16 new branches countrywide.
Last year’s recruitment, which thinly outpaced the 1,003 new signings seen the previous year, saw the lender’s staff count rise to 5,863, up from the 5,400 recorded at the end of 2023.
