QNB Group launched an integrated and unified strategic framework to enhance the well-being of its employees by integrating the dimensions of comprehensive psychological, health, and financial well-being within the work environment, in a way that enhances the sustainability of performance and the quality of professional life.
The launch of this framework confirms the group’s continued commitment to investing in human capital as it is one of the most important pillars of institutional success. This initiative is in line with QNB’s strategy to provide a work environment that supports job engagement and enhances employee experience, which enhances QNB’s position as a preferred employer and one of the region’s leading financial institutions in this field. The framework is based on three main axes, including psychological, emotional, physical, and financial well-being, within a unified model that aims to coordinate relevant initiatives and activities at the group level, which contributes to enhancing performance and raising levels of participation and productivity.
The program also aims to enable employees to improve their lifestyles and develop a healthy, safe and stimulating work environment, which will reflect positively on institutional performance, production efficiency, and the sustainability of the banking labor market, in line with the goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Ms. Heba Al Tamimi, Senior Executive Vice President – Communications at QNB Group, said: “The employee well-being framework represents an important strategic step that reflects QNB’s firm commitment to building a supportive and motivating work environment that enables our employees to achieve the best levels of performance and innovation. This framework confirms the Group’s continuous investment in human capital as it is the basic foundation for institutional success, and it also embodies our keenness to adopt the best international practices in the field of employee well-being and enhancing the work experience, which contributes to raising levels of engagement and job engagement and supports institutional performance in the long term.”
She added: “Employee well-being is no longer just supportive initiatives, but has become an essential element in building more resilient, sustainable and growth-capable organizations. Through this unified framework, we affirm our commitment to providing a positive work environment that enables our employees to succeed, develop and contribute to achieving the group’s future goals.”
In implementation of this strategic framework, the Group continues to launch periodic programs and initiatives concerned with the mental and physical health and financial well-being of its employees, in addition to providing integrated services and solutions that go beyond traditional benefits, through strategic partnerships with specialized entities and institutions locally and internationally to support various aspects of employee well-being.
These programs include a number of events dedicated to employees and specific initiatives to establish a culture of appreciation and job excellence in an exceptional work environment through the “Employee of the Month” program. It is also keen to provide offers and discounts for employees and their families in the most prestigious health institutions and tourist destinations in Qatar and abroad, in addition to organizing training courses to raise awareness in a number of areas concerned with aspects of public health, financial well-being, and beauty. As part of its ongoing commitment to employee well-being, the group decided to grant employees a holiday on the occasion of their birthday without counting it from their annual leave balance.
The group does not hesitate to involve its employees in a number of community initiatives, such as the World Blood Donor Day campaign under the slogan “Donate blood… Share life,” which witnessed a large turnout from the group’s employees, who flocked to the blood donation unit.
