Our Employees
The Bank believes that its workforce is the key to success and that attracting, retaining, and motivating the best individuals is vital to continued growth and excellence. The Bank endeavors to provide a work environment where the employees can develop, grow and perform their full potential. The Bank’s Human Resources strategy within SAIB has been aligned with SAIB's overall strategy. To meet the challenging business objectives, detailed attention is given to upgrading all human resources tools and solutions to ensure enhancement of the overall knowledge and capability of SAIB's staff.
At its heart the Bank’s people-oriented strategy is a behavioral strategy that focuses on bringing out the very best in each employee. Two elements are emphasized in this strategy: performance and engagement. Performance management is critical to our Bank’s success and the Bank utilizes objective setting and annual evaluations for all employees, including executives. Responsiveness to employees is also very important to the Bank – the Bank engages with its personnel in numerous ways, including via Annual Employee Satisfaction Surveys, SILAH Intranet platform, Tawasl email platform to provide suggestions and express concerns, coffee morning sessions with the CEO, and one-on-one feedback sessions with the line managers.
Moreover, the Bank adopts a company-wide open door policy whereby employees are encouraged to interact with senior/executive management of the Bank to discuss ideas and grievances, if any. The Bank also invests heavily in employee training and career development, while fostering a work environment that embraces diversity and provides equal opportunities.
