DOHA: International Islamic (QIIB) has received fresh batch of Qatari staff, who have been recruited as part of the bank’s second “Employment Day”. The Bank offered job opportunities for nearly 65 young Qataris at the annual event.
Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah Al Thani, QIIB Chairman and Managing Director, and Abdulbasit Al Shaibei, QIIB CEO, met 23 new employees at the end of the intensive training course they have undertaken at the Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA). 
QFBA CEO Dr Abdulazziz Al-Horr, also attended the meeting along with Jamal Al Jamal, Deputy CEO, and a number of senior bank executives.
Welcoming the fresh batch of Qatari staff, Sheikh Dr Khalid appreciated the enthusiasm and sincere desire he had found among the employees to work and progress. The training assessment reports have shown that the new Qatari staff members possess the right aptitude and that they can in a very short period of time make it into QIIB’s professional team. He said, “We pay special attention to our Qatari citizens in line with the government’s plans in this regard. And we are fully committed to achieving the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 by attracting Qataris, properly placing them and providing them the best career path in the banking sector.”
Sheikh Dr Khalid called upon the staff members to primarily serve their homeland and community, as the duty requires everyone to make utmost efforts to improve the country. “Everyone plays a different role and the more perfect role we play, the more benefits we bring to our country and ourselves.”
Sheikh Dr Khalid affirmed that QIIB will proceed with its policy in the field of human resources that focuses on Qatari citizens, taking care of them and facilitating them in the various departments of the bank and its branches and giving them all appropriate opportunities.
Al Shaibei welcomed the new employees to QIIB family. He said the bank has kept its doors always open for Qatari men and women, and put them at the forefront of its priorities.
He said: “The new batch of Qatari staff members will join a number of the bank branches as well as other staff members who have already joined the bank and became part of its structure.”
He stressed the new Qatari employees will bring in more quality to the bank cadre and contribute to the expansion plans being carried out by QIIB, which involves the opening of several branches. Many new branches will be launched in the near future. “The training days were intensive and we could see many new talents with great potential. This has really pleased us and proved that there are energies. In which we must invest and 
work on.”The Peninsula
