The International Bank of Qatar (ibq), is pressing ahead with its national workforce and talent development programmes. The bank recently wrapped up a tailor-made workshop, ITQAN, geared towards the Qatari personnel. ITQAN is a personal development and leadership initiative. The programme has been running throughout the past 11 months and will continue till the end of 2012.
Eleven Qatari staff have successfully completed the workshop which was split into three phases, each phase focusing on a particular set of skills which help enhancing the positive working experience of all attendees who took part in the workshop sessions.
Saleh Al Kawari (pictured), Head of Human Resources at ibq said: “We’re extremely pleased with the results of this year-long development initiative. This strongly demonstrates our steadfast commitment to continuously invest in our Qatari staff, particularly those who bring local talent on board. ibq believes in the significance to not only recruit the right resources but also to train and develop their capabilities to turn into the best and most productive and competitive workforce within the industry. This stems from our understanding that success can only be triggered and driven by a highly qualified team of experts. At ibq, we were extremely happy to see the unfaltering dedication of the 11 Qatari staff who attended the programme over the past months.”The Peninsula
