QNB convened its first ever gathering of human resource professionals at a special conference in Doha.
The event was part of the bank’s commitment to fulfil its vision to become a Middle East and Africa icon by 2017.
The two-day conference saw participation of QNB country human resource managers from 13 countries and bank subsidiaries such as QNB AlAhli, QNB Tunisia and CBI in Dubai.
HR professionals from across the QNB group agreed that the subject of career development remained an essential deliverable for QNB human resources.
General Manager Group Human Capital Yousef al-Othman said: “Given the expanding international footprint of the QNB Group, it is essential that the important subjects of talent management and career development continue to be at the forefront of our human capital strategy.
“This conference is an important step in developing a quality and consistent approach to these matters and we are delighted to have hosted such an important international HR gathering here in Doha.”
QNB Group provides a range of career development opportunities, such as the ambassador programme, launched in 2011, to improve and evolve individual capabilities and skills.
The aim of the programme is to expose high potential Qatari employees to an international banking environment so that they can develop best international practice leadership skills.
Programme participants are seconded to QNB international branches for a period of 12 to 24 months. Upon successful completion, participants return to QNB in Qatar and take leadership positions.
