This is the fifth PAL group since this program started and the first one in 2006.
The presentation was given by divided groups of PAL students each discussing a different topic of providing strategic counsel and unique solutions towards increasing Emiratisation within the bank, producing service quality excellence and enhancing NBD's vision and human resources policies.
"Nationals are the future of this country as well as the bank's," said Douglas Dowie, CEO, National Bank of Dubai. "Since its inception, NBD has always promoted the practice of recruiting, training and developing Nationals based on a clear vision to create the leaders of tomorrow."
PAL is the first programme of its kind in the UAE that recruits and trains college graduates. A 21 month program, PAL was developed to prepare UAE Nationals for management roles, providing them with the skills and knowledge required to become leaders within their areas of expertise. Recently, NBD welcomed yet another round of PAL students and throughout a two day program, introduced them to the different departments in the bank and involved them in various team building activities.
"We are constantly on the look out for National talents who are interested in banking," added Al Sayed. "NBD has always offered the best training programs in an effort to motivate a predominately young population to work towards a new and brighter future for the UAE."
NBD has made a strategic decision to reserve certain key positions for Nationals. With almost 33 per cent of NBD's workforce being locals, the bank is one of the largest employers of Nationals in the UAE banking sector and the private sector as a whole.
