QIIB recently celebrated the joining of a new batch of Qatari employees in its cadre at a function attended among others by chairman and managing director Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah al-Thani and CEO Abdulbasit al-Shaibei.
Early this year, the bank held its Second Employment Day during which it offered job opportunities for nearly 65 Qatari women and men in various departments within the bank.
Sheikh Dr Khalid and al-Shaibei met some 23 of the new employees at the end of the intensive training course they have undertaken at the Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA).
QFBA chief executive officer, Dr Abdulazziz al-Horr, also attended the meeting along with Jamal al-Jamal, Deputy CEO and a number of senior bank executives.
Sheikh Dr Khalid welcomed the new staff members and expressed satisfaction at the enthusiasm and sincere desire he had found among the employees to work and progress.
The training assessment reports have shown that the new Qatari staff members possessed the right aptitude and that they could in a very short period of time make it into QIIB’s professional team.
He said, “We pay special attention to our Qatari citizens in line with the government’s plans in this regard. And we are fully committed to achieving the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 by attracting Qataris, properly placing them and providing them the best career path in the banking sector.”
Al-Shaibei welcomed the new employees to QIIB family, which he said has kept its doors always open for Qatari men and women.
He said, “Today, we are witnessing the results of the Second Employment Day organised by the bank. This new batch of Qatari staff members will join a number of the bank branches as well as other staff members who have already joined the bank and became part of its structure.”
He stressed the new Qatari employees will bring in more quality to the bank cadre and contribute to the expansion plans being carried out by QIIB, which involves the opening of several branches. Many new branches will be launched in the near future.
Al-Shaibei said, “The 38 training days were intensive and we could see many new talents with great potential. This has really pleased us and proved that there are energies. In which we must invest and work on. Here I thank Dr Abdulazziz al-Horr, Qatar Financial and Business Academy CEO for the academy’s concern and his personal concern towards QIIB personnel during this successful programme.”
Al-Horr praised QIIB’s interest in its new Qatari employees and said Qatar Finance and Business Academy had closely cooperated with the bank in the “outstanding” programme.
“We have seen a great deal of interest from the bank’s management and trainees to benefit the most from the cooperation with the academy. We wish the trainees all success in their career with QIIB”.
