ABK celebrates Retail Banking engagement day with staff

KUWAIT: To ensure constant engagement with its employees, Al-Ahli Bank of Kuwait (ABK) recently hosted its Retail Banking engagement day for staff. Held at the Salwa AlSabah Ballroom, the event brought ABK’s retail banking staff together under one roof and provided an insight into the differing areas of Retail Banking.

Following an internal engagement survey that was conducted to gain staff feedback, ABK management held this event to allow employees to exchange their opinions freely and learn through fun activities. Designed in the form of an exhibition representing the various areas of Retail, ABK employees had the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the objectives and practices. In addition, senior employees from other business units were present and shared their professional experiences with attendees.

Commenting on the activity, Stewart Lockie, GM Retail Banking at ABK said: “Employee engagement is essential to ensure staff are given the platform to provide feedback. We chose to create a less formal and relaxed environment to allow employees to be more forth coming. We did not want to make it seem like a normal business meeting, hence we chose the exhibition format. We are proud of our employee’s level of engagement, dedication and enthusiasm. It is always a pleasure to see that ABK has successfully integrated its employees to the extent that they are striving to give the job all that they have”.

In addition, ABK staff had the opportunity to bring their children to the event, who participated in games and other fun activities.
