Burgan Bank has celebrated the graduation of 26 young bankers, who have successfully completed a one-month induction training program. Organized by the Learning and Talent Development Department, the program provided deep-dive knowledge into the bank’s culture and operations, along with the specialized tools and skill sets necessary for the new employees’ roles in the bank.
The training program, delivered in a mix of live and virtual sessions through the eLearning platform, was designed to prepare the new employees to fill the position of bank tellers across Burgan’s branches. The program’s series of courses aim at helping the new employees start their career journey in the bank with sufficient and practical knowledge to offer customers high-quality professional services as well as to engage and evolve in the banking industry.
The program included many specialized workshops and trainings focused on selling skills and the key pillars to customer service excellence. The training also covered the practical aspects of the job and introduced the participants to the wide array of the Bank’s products and services. A one-week field training in the Bank’s branches was included to provide the new staff with the opportunity to build on the acquired theoretical knowledge to get a hands-on experience of everyday banking operations.
