Furthermore, the challenges faced are 1) technological advances that are not matched by digital skills; 2) limited training and ongoing coaching; 3) unplanned job transfers and rotations; 4) high and unbalanced workloads; 5) low incentives and appreciation; and 6) low literacy in regional financial regulations.
