This move comes in line with the programme launched by Her Highness Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Establishment for Women, aimed at supporting and empowering working mothers in their workplace and creating new jobs for Emarati women.
Mrs. Noora Jamshed, Head of Johara Ladies branches at DIB, said:
"DIB is proud to be the first bank in the UAE to adopt the initiative of Sheikha Manal Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to provide childcare centres for female public and private sector employees in view of the growing role of women as key partners in the development process. The establishment of the nursery within the branch premises underlines DIB's continued commitment to social and community development through its employee and customer initiatives, and increasing female representation at the workplace and in the overall economic development of the UAE."
She further added: "The in-house nursery will certainly provide our staff with much needed support and help them execute both their family and work responsibilities efficiently. We will follow this up with the opening of similar facilities in Dubai, Sharjah and Al Ain for our women employees."
The new nursery idea was launched by Ms. Hassa Al Muhairi, Director of Dubai Islamic Bank's branch in Khaldiya, Abu Dhabi, in order to provide care and support for the children of the bank's employees
