The strong support for the country’s move towards Emiratization is expected to be the basis for the creation of a common strategic goal across all UAE organizations, according to Jamal Al Jasmi, General Manager of the Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS), the sole provider of specialized knowledge and enhanced learning experiences for the UAE banking and financial sector. Jasmi, who is also the coordinator for the Human Resources Development Committee in the Banking & Financial Sector (HRDC), has revealed that nomination forms for this year’s edition of the HRD Award in Banking & Financial Sector, Best CEO Award and Distinguished Woman Award, was distributed across key UAE organizations in banking, insurance, money exchange and other related financial sectors. The awards are set to be presented at the opening ceremonies of Expo Sharjah’s 15th National Career Exhibition in the Banking, Financial and Government Sector on February 20, 2013.
Now on its 15th year, the HRD Award in the Banking and Financial Sector has helped create a competitive platform for the country’s banking and finance industry. The aim of the award is to give recognition and honor to UAE organizations that have made significant contributions in the country’s move to increase national employment and support for the Emiratization initiative. The awards are convened by a special committee that has been tasked to choose outstanding candidates based on five core criterions—the Strategic Emiratization Plan (SEP), Leadership, Human Resources, Training and Development & Community Service. The deadline set for the submission of nomination forms is on January 13, 2013.
“We are looking forward to receiving strong response from the country’s banking and financial institutions, surely fielding nominations for career professionals and organizations who have played an important role in support of the government’s Emiratization program,” said Al Jasmi. “Over the last few years, the awards have strongly positioned itself as a strategic platform to recognize these outstanding individuals and to showcase the contributions they have made. In turn, the strong support given to help increase national employment has helped in arriving to a common strategic goal for all banking and finance organizations and companies in the country.”
This year’s award will include the ‘Best CEO’ category, which is the first-ever award aimed at recognizing the role played by the CEOs in developing Emiratisation and HRD policies at their institutions. Meanwhile, the ‘Distinguished Woman Award’ strives to honor the women working in the Banking & Financial Sector. The award looks to recognize national woman leaders who have contributed to the development of banking and financial products and services.
