Burgan Bank has launched a benefits package tailored to employees whose spouses are frontline defenders.
This initiative comes as part of the Bank’s mission to be an employer of choice and its comprehensive social responsibility program, which aims to create a sustainable, positive impact across society, beginning with its employees.
In addition to the benefits that all Burgan Bank employees are entitled to, the customized benefits package offers reduced working hours, from seven and a half hours to five and a half hours, allowing frontliners’ spouses.

“At Burgan Bank, we believe that employees are the foundation for our success. For this reason, we are committed to providing them with a supportive environment that appreciates them and their families’ efforts. Kuwait’s frontline heroes have set an example of commitment and dedication, and their families played a pivotal role in supporting them during that period. Stemming from our corporate values of support and appreciation, we are delighted to offer special benefits to our employees whose spouses work on the frontlines, in appreciation of their great role and their humanitarian and national contributions.”
As per the statement, it also provides them with a concierge program designed to help target employees manage daily tasks and personal commitments with greater ease and convenience. Lastly, the package includes a well-being program that dedicates a personal assistant for promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being as well as assisting with stress management, anxiety control, and de-escalation of burdening emotions.
This initiative reflects the central role of Burgan Bank’s HR department in fostering a nurturing work culture by constantly developing flexible policies and initiatives that meet employees’ needs and elevate the quality of their professional and personal lives.
Furthermore, this initiative stems from Burgan Bank’s culture of prioritizing human capital, which positioned it as the first banking institution in Kuwait to receive the Great Place to Work certification.
This achievement reflects the Bank’s approach to building a supportive corporate culture that empowers talent and provides opportunities for professional growth and development, empowering employees to achieve a balance between their career aspirations and family lives, as per the statement.
