Standard Chartered Bank conducts two week comprehensive workshop for Qatari Ladies in Consumer Banking.
Standard Chartered Bank recently conducted a two week comprehensive workshop for Qatari ladies in the Consumer Banking unit. The workshop consisted of training on Banking products, Sales and Service techniques and Anti Money Laundering awareness.
This is the first of several workshops planned for the development of Qataris in the Bank. The initiative is part of Standard Chartered Bank’s ongoing commitment to support and develop local talent, thereby providing them with the opportunity to become an integral part of its ongoing success in the region.
Dermot Fitzgerald, Head of the Consumer Bank, said, “We are committed to developing our local talent by providing the requisite resources and skills to the new Qatari joiners. We have set up a dedicated team in the business to train and mentor our staff and thereby engage our employees at the outset. This also enables us to focus in on the strengths of our staff and thus ensure the right people in the right jobs.”
The successful candidates were presented Certificates of Completion. The trainees who received the certificates were: Shaikha Al-Hajri, Hasina Al-Maamari, Fatima Al Hayal, Layla Al-Badi, Sahar El-Eglah and Muna Al-Mansoori.
Jackie Winn, Head of Human Resources at Standard Chartered Bank commented, “Our focus and commitment to the development of young Qataris is evidenced by our current Qatarization ratio that stands at 28% and the recent three year agreement that we have signed with the Ministry of Labour for sponsoring Qatari Students. We continue to be the employer of choice for discerning individuals that are keen to work for an international organization such as Standard Chartered Bank whilst continuing to broaden their skills with a balance of training and on the job attachments.”
