31 management report 6) Number of employees pursuant to Art. 267 (5) HGB: Excluding apprenticed trainees, employees participating in parental leave, early retirement, partial retirement (non-working phase), or employees suspended with pay. Report on events after the balance sheet date Bodies, committees and personnel Bodies and committees The Delegates Meeting elected Gregor Scheller, Chairman of the Board of Management of the Volksbank Forchheim, as a new member of the Supervisory Board. He replaced Erich Rödel, the former Chairman of MünchenerHyp’s Board of Management, who stepped down from the Supervisory Board due to reasons of age. Erich Rödel had been a member of the Supervisory Board for five years. The Chairman of the Super- visory Board, Konrad Irtel, thanked Mr Rödel, for his successful and dedicated service to the Bank in key positions over many years. Employees Following numerous years of intensive staff expansion, the hiring of additional employees declined in 2015. Nevertheless, recruiting and, above all, the integration of new employees remained the focal points of our personnel work. Between 1 January and 31 De- cember 2015 a total of 50 personnel requirements were placed consisting of nine additional and 41 replacement requirements. MünchenerHyp’s employee fluctuation figure rose slightly in 2015 to 4.7 percent from the 4.2 percent noted in 2014. However, when compared to the average figure (2014: 6.2 percent) for the sector, our figure remained at a low level. In view of the more than 200 new colleagues we hired over the previous years, integration and development of personnel have continued to gain importance at the Bank. The key elements are the internal and external opportunities to advance employee skills and knowledge, as well as other personnel development measures such as attending seminars. The average number of persons employed6 at the Bank during the year was 493, plus 20 apprenticed trainees. The average number of years of employment per employee remained stable at 10.4 years. The law “For the equal participation of women and men in exec- utive positions in the private economy and the public sector” took effect on 1 May 2015. As the Bank is neither listed on a stock ex- change nor subject to employee’s co-determination, it therefore has not yet approved a quantitative women’s quota. However, as the Bank’s Supervisory Board will be revised pursuant to the terms of the One-Third Participation Act (Drittelbeteiligungsgesetz) in 2016, a women’s quota for the Supervisory Board, Board of Man- agement and for both of the levels below the Board of Manage- ment will need to be determined. Independent of these consider- ations, MünchenerHyp views itself as a modern enterprise in terms of social, cultural and commercial regards and therefore the pro- motion of the under-represented gender is a natural component of our management culture that we live every day. At the end of October 2015 the Münchener Hypothekenbank and the Hausbank München signed a Letter of Intent wherein they agreed to review a closer cooperation through to a possible merger. Following subsequent intensive talks the two parties agreed not to pursue a merger at this time. The two banks are currently work- ing together to expand and realise the areas of cooperation iden- tified in the talks.
