Burgan Bank Celebrates its First Ro2ya Graduating Cohorts
A unique talent program setting a new benchmark for human capital development across Kuwait’s banking sector
Kuwait, 3 May 2023: Burgan Bank recently celebrated the graduation of 52 aspiring Burgan talents who have successfully concluded the first round of the Bank’s dynamic talent development program, Ro2ya, each completing their relevant learning path.
The graduation ceremony, which was held at Dar Al-Athar, was attended by Mr. Fadel Mahmoud Abdullah, Acting Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer & CEO – Kuwait, and Chief Corporate Banking Officer, and Mrs. Halah Mohammad El-Sherbini, Group Chief Human Resources and Development Officer at Burgan Bank, alongside Burgan’s top management, colleagues, and family members who were at hand to show support for the graduates and their achievements. Ro2ya is celebrated as one of Burgan Bank’s most forward-looking human capital development programs, under the umbrella of its expansive support for growing Kuwaiti talent to reach senior positions as per CBK mandate.
“The greatness of an institution is best achieved through the abundance of its people’s potential and the high level of invested opportunities,” commented El-Sherbini on the graduates’ successful completion of Ro2ya. “Today, we stand before 52 of our very best talents who walked a path of learning and growth with resolve and ambition. And on behalf of the Burgan Bank staff, we congratulate them all on their remarkable resilience and achievements. Through Ro2ya, Burgan is marking yet another great leap into the future by implementing the latest in learning and talent development.”
El-Sherbini added: “Human capital is to be continuously nurtured and developed, and that’s what we aim to do through our multiple development programs: invest in our most promising talents by helping them grow on both the personal and professional levels. We thank all our executives and senior leaders for their unwavering continued support, we strongly appreciate the efforts exerted by our Ro2ya pioneers, and we look forward to witnessing their impact on Burgan’s success and the banking sector as a whole.”
Despite the unique challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Burgan Bank launched the first batch of Ro2ya in 2020 as a progressive solution in response to the swiftly changing market demands that pushed for the digitization of its processes, products, and services.
Commenting on Ro2ya, Mr. Bashar Al-Qattan, Talent Empowerment Senior Manager at Burgan Bank said: “In today’s fast-paced market, it is crucial for organizations to be nimble in their response to and adoption of new digital solutions that guarantee accurate, fast, and seamless delivery of services to the market. However, state-of-the-art solutions alone can’t rally organizations to success without an equally efficient workforce that designs, refines, and delivers these services. That’s why we continue to place talent development at the core of our organizational success strategy, ensuring a more promising path for the staff on an individual level and for Burgan Bank as an institution.”
In this light, Ro2ya was designed to deliver on the Bank’s strategic business objective of retaining and growing its exceptional and most promising talents while attracting the best candidates in the market to the Burgan family. While this promised to fortify Burgan Bank’s position as a market leader in Kuwait’s financial and banking sector, it also aimed to advance the level of knowledge and skill available within the national pool of talent.
Designed with the Bank’s diversity of talent cohorts and their different needs in mind, Ro2ya presents three learning paths that serve different career paths and aspirations: Eagles, Arrows, and Sprouts. Along all paths, program participants receive dedicated guidance that is tailored to their personal needs and professional aspirations. This is further enriched by the invaluable collaborations signed with local and international universities and business schools, whose learning materials and approaches ensure profound personal and professional growth for all program participants.
Following the astounding success of the program’s first batch, Burgan Bank launched Ro2ya in its second batch in October, which welcomed 45 talents aboard the program’s paths, Arrows and Sprouts. With this program and a wide range of other similar efforts, Burgan Bank continues to lead the efforts on developing Kuwait’s national talents, with a motivation to elevate the national market’s competitiveness, paving the path for bigger successes and a stronger domestic economy.
