HSBC Kuwait has made an announcement that is guaranteed to rock the human resources landscape in the country’s banking sector. Bedour Al Dhamkhi has been appointed as their new Human Resource Head. With more than ten years in industry, Al Dhamkhi brings with her a wealth of experience and impressive track record in Kuwaiti finance.
Previously, at KNET which provides electronic banking services in Kuwait, she was a key figure. Having learned how to work in the financial sector during this period, she will be a great addition to the HR division of HSBC.
Samer Al Abed, CEO of HSBC Kuwait is confident that she will provide strong leadership on people policies and enhance employee value proposition for the bank. “Energising for growth is a strategic priority for the bank, which means that we aim to attract and retain the best talent for the bank,” he says. “Bedour’s experience and important leadership role will contribute to driving our objectives of investing in the personal and career development of our employees and our commitment to nurturing local talent.”
Creating a supportive and inclusive workplace environment is something that Al Dhamkhi herself knows quite well. Her previous position at KNET enabled her to develop a deep understanding of what it takes to create a thriving corporate culture.
In the words of Al Dhamkhi, “’HSBC provides exceptional employee value proposition that includes flexible working for their well-being, international career opportunities, and focus on future skills’. I look forward to partnering with the leadership team and all our colleagues in the business as we support each other’s career development and make HSBC an employer of choice in Kuwait.”
With this department being led by Al Dhamkhi at HSBC Kuwait, the bank has positioned itself strategically to maneuver talent acquisition and retention landscape which is changing faster than ever before. With her knowledge of Kuwaiti banking industry as well as local talent nurturing commitment, she promises to catapult HSBC HR strategies into new levels.
We are eager to find out how impactful Al Dhamkhi will be on HSBC Kuwait’s workforce and how far reaching her leadership will be across the broader HR community within this region. More updates on this interesting development coming soon!
