Oman Arab Bank Meets Job Seekers in Musandam

/in /by

Muscat, June 27, 2018: As part of its efforts to enable young Omanis to start their careers in the banking sector, Oman Arab Bank (OAB), in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower, recently organised a series of job interviews for locals in Musandam; a select few of which will soon join the Bank’s team in the governorate.

Adil Al Rahbi, Head of Human Resources Division, commented on the reasons of conducting such interviews in the Governorate of Musandam saying, “Usually job seekers travel from their residences in the Wilayats to attend job interviews at a corporates’ headquarters in Muscat, with considerable effort and costs involved; while others who cannot afford to travel and stay in the capital, show reluctance in attending such interviews. Therefore, we at Oman Arab Bank launched this initiative to conduct job interviews, evaluations, and appointments directly within Musandam for vacant positions at the Bank’s branches in the Governorate. This has allowed a greater number of job seekers in the area to apply for available positions; providing them with an invaluable opportunity to join one of the finest financial institution in the Sultanate.”

The interview team consisted of the Human Resources and Retail Banking Divisions, who conducted several job interviews in the Musandam Governorate over a period of two days. A number of candidates were subsequently selected to fill retail banking vacancies within the Governorate.

Al Rahbi added, “OAB’s initiative has been very well received by job seekers in the area. We were impressed with the skills, knowledge, and capabilities showcased by the candidates who applied for the available positions and are confident those selected will be a quality addition to the OAB team in Musandam. We are honoured to welcome them into the OAB family, which today stands at over 1,160 employees strong. We would like also to extend our thanks and appreciation to the employees in the Ministry of Manpower, who supported our team in communicating and scheduling interviews with the job seekers. Their assistance has been invaluable in facilitating our mission and achieving our goals.”

Oman Arab Bank is one of the leading Banks in the Sultanate with regards to Omanisation, achieving a percentage over 96% in terms of citizens employed within the Bank across all levels. The Bank’s ‘LEAD’ program is an extension of the banks efforts towards supporting its Omanisation objectives. LEAD is firmly centred on developing capabilities and capacities for the Omani staff, preparing them for assuming greater leadership positions within the Bank.

Oman Arab Bank is one of the first banks to be established in Oman, with a rich and proud history.

The event was held under the patronage of H.E Dr. Muna Bint Salem Al Jardani, the undersecretary of Ministry of Manpower, at the Sheraton Oman Hotel, on May 2. The event was attended by senior professionals and business leaders from across different industry verticals. Representing OAB at the event was Adil Al Rahbi, Head of HR Division, who also participated as a panellist.

Commenting on their sponsorship of the event, Adil Al Rahbi said, “As one of the leading banking institutions in the country, we are very keen to support events and forums that are of great importance to the finance sector, as well as those that promote and facilitate the development of our staff. This was one such event that provided all attendees with some great insight, not just in the finance sector but also in HR and training. The information obtained from this event will go a long way in helping attendees streamline their company’s staff training programmes, whilst also introducing them to new, more efficient and effective platforms and methodologies.”

Over the last three years OER’s Finance & HR Summit has emerged as the most coveted platform for CEOs, CFOs, HR Directors and other senior executives and this year’s edition promises to build upon that experience and legacy with incisive discussions, case studies, presentations, and peer-to-peer interaction. The event itself was spilt into two key parts, the first covering finance and second covering HR.

The 2018 edition of OER Finance Summit focused on five key themes – financial resource allocation to maximise returns; shifting from a jobless growth paradigm to incentivising job creation; negotiating the impact of changing local and regional regulatory norms like VAT, stricter disclosure and transparency norms, enhanced corporate taxes on profitability; privatisation of government, public sector institutions, private sector IPOs and depth to the stock market; and rethinking business models to thrive in a changing business environment.

This year’s OER HR Summit saw experienced L&D experts touching upon game-based learning, machine learning, use of artificial intelligence in the learning function, use of psychometrics in learning, and digital learning. Key focus was also given to a further five key topics – challenges faced by learning professionals; how to create an environment that encourages and supports continuous learning; learning for modern workforce; leadership development; and importance of building measurable metrics in the learning system.

“On behalf of the Bank, I would like to commend the organisers for the professionalism and efficiency with which the event was managed. The event was a great success, and one that we were honoured to be a part of; we look forward to supporting many more similar events in the future,” concluded Adil Al Rahbi
