KFH: National work force exceeds 60% starting from May

This is compliant with the Cabinet's decree, the instructions of the Central Bank of Kuwait and KFH's policy to recruit and train Kuwaitis, which will reinforce KFH status and role. KFH takes pride in the fact that 95% of its top management are Kuwaitis.

The Assistant General Manager for Support Services Abdul Aziz Al-Jaber stated that KFH is keen on strengthening the national work force in the banking and investment fields, in order to recruit and train Kuwaitis both practically and theoretically, which will allow them to work at any field they desire, since the trainee can choose the department that he wants to join.

Moreover, Al-Jaber noted that KFH focuses on training its employees, since it believes that the best investment is to invest in the employees themselves, especially that KFH sees its employees as the most valuable asset it possesses. It is worth mentioning that 173 employees have received 43 different professional global certificates for various businesses, such as investment, finance and banking services.

He went on to explain that developing the skills of the employees goes hand in hand with KFH policy to develop new services and products, not to mention its policy to give its employees world-class training that would allow them to offer KFH's clients the best service possible.

Furthermore, Al-Jaber mentioned that KFH plans to offer its employees unique, qualitative training that will provide them with special skills that are required in their basic fields of work, which meets the objectives of offering world-class services to KFH clients.

In addition to that, KFH will apply online training to cover all the needs of the bank and reinforce KFH's competitiveness locally and globally. He added that recruits distinguished graduates and enrolls them in a three months training course that develops their skills and allows them to work in any field.

He noted that more than 80% of the international professional certificates are covered by KFH branch managers. He added that the Arab Academy for Banking Studies grants branch managers an internationally approved certificate. It is worth mentioning that KFH has sent a group of its employees in an educational and training course to Harvard University.
