National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for employee development through workshops and programs designed to serve a wide range of employees from both institutions on different administrative levels.
The signing ceremony took place at Kuwait Oil Company’s Headquarters in the presence of Emad Al-Ablani, Group Chief Human Resources at National Bank of Kuwait, and Bashar Al-Khashti, Manager Training & Career Development at KOC, along with executives from both parties.
Under the MoU, the two institutions will exchange knowledge and experiences in fields of training and employee development to enhance training provided by both institutions. It also fosters creativity to drive sustainable growth.
KOC will carry out field visits for some NBK employees to different company locations and provide specialized trainers in fields of environmental safety and security, while NBK will showcase its latest techniques for professional development and the best methodologies to enhance employees’ behavior, in addition to promoting teamwork, productivity, comprehensive quality, and optimal digital solutions.
The MoU aims to develop skills by offering the latest learning tools that follow international standards of competency development. It has been meticulously crafted to enhance operational excellence by providing access to a diverse learning curriculum that aims to convey the necessary knowledge and experiences.
This move highlights KOC’s commitment to investing in human capital and sustaining its growth by cultivating a visionary team of leaders. It also falls in line with KOC’s aim to maintain and benefit from experiences within the institution, which further supports its strategic goals and enhances its market competitiveness.
NBK is offering two developmental programs in a workshop titled “Transferring Knowledge” which will cover topics such as vision, cooperation, strategic leadership, creativity, and innovation. The workshop will help leaders make enlightened decisions and achieve a unified understanding among decision-makers to guarantee a cohesive and successful team of leaders in the long term.
The second program aims to help develop the technical skills of employees, enhance their competencies, and transfer their knowledge and experiences through online learning. The program also aims to enable employees to make informed decisions and execute solutions independently.
