As part of the Bank’s dedicated commitment to the holistic development of its human capital

Kuwait, 11 August 2024

Burgan Bank recently celebrated three of its employees who completed their undergraduate studies and earned their bachelor’s degrees as part of the “Burgan Cares” program, which has now expanded to encompass postgraduate support. This comes in line with the Bank’s dedicated human capital development strategy and its unwavering commitment to embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in its operations and culture.

Since its launch in 2022, the “Burgan Cares” program has centered on advancing employees in their careers by supporting their academic endeavors. In its initial phase, the program focused on sponsoring employees’ efforts to earn a bachelor’s degree. This year, the program’s scope has been extended to offer more opportunities for those interested in pursuing an MBA, which serves as a testament to the Bank’s pledge to create a supportive and enriching environment for its employees, where learning is encouraged and achievements are celebrated.

“At Burgan Bank, we believe that nurturing talent, fostering growth, and investing in our employees is the foundation of our institutional development, making every individual achievement a win for the Bank,” said Mr. Bashar Al-Qattan, Acting Executive Manager – Learning and Talent Development at Burgan Bank. “Since the launch of the ‘Burgan Cares’ program, we have seen determined employees rekindle their aspiration to earn a bachelor's degree. Today, we are delighted to celebrate the first three Burgan employees to complete their undergraduate studies under the umbrella of ‘Burgan Cares.’”

“On behalf of the Burgan Bank family, I would like to commend the graduates on their hard work, perseverance, and dedication to balancing their professional and academic responsibilities,” he added. “We believe that many growth opportunities await them along their journeys. More importantly, we vow to exert all that is in our power to ensure that Burgan employees receive the necessary support to reach their full potential, especially through pursuing undergraduate or postgraduate degrees.”

In addition to the three recent graduates, 15 Burgan employees remain enrolled in their undergraduate studies on their way to earning a bachelor's degree under the “Burgan Cares” umbrella, with more aspiring employees expected to join the program.

As a certified Great Place to Work®, Burgan Bank continues to develop its growth and development scheme in a bid to offer its employees a wide range of learning opportunities that match their diverse personal needs and professional aspirations. Among the Bank’s most notable learning and development programs is its flagship Ro’ya program, which aims to prepare the Bank’s top talents to assume leadership positions within Burgan and across Kuwait’s banking sector.

The Bank’s learning and development efforts also include the Entelaqah program, which caters to the needs of new hires and ensures that they get an insightful head-start in their banking careers. Furthermore, Burgan Bank offers flagship programs internally and in partnership with distinguished universities to nurture the skills of its talents. This further solidifies the Bank’s commitment to investing in human capital, developing Kuwait’s vast talent pool, and contributing to the domestic economy.
