Lesha Bank has achieved a “significant milestone” by being the first and only bank in Qatar to receive the ‘Great Place to Work’ certification for the second consecutive year, awarded by Great Place to Work Middle East (www.greatplacetowork.me).
As part of the certification process, staff members of the bank participated in an anonymous survey, in addition to a comprehensive culture audit that reviewed the bank's HR practices. “We are pleased to report that the bank achieved impressive results across most key indicators assessed,” Lesha Bank said on sunday.

As testimony to its best practices, the bank was also awarded the title of ‘Best Bank in Qatar for Diversity and Inclusion’ by the Euromoney Awards for Excellence in 2023.
Lesha Bank Deputy COO Mohammed Mohammed said, “We are delighted to announce that we have once again been awarded the 'Great Place to Work' certification for the second consecutive year. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to best practices regarding diversity and inclusion within our organisation.
